1/2 tsp salt
2/3 C shortening
1/4 - 1/2 C water
Sift flour and salt together. Cut in shortening with fork or pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Add water, a little at a time, mixing lightly, until dough forms a ball. Handle as little as possible. Makes two pie crusts.
Variations: substitute 2 Tbsp sugar for salt for a sweet crust. Substitute butter for shortening, or use half butter and half shortening, for richer flavor.
