An Acceptable Pie Crust

 

Good enough for just about any job and as easy as its contents.

 

Ingredients

 

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup shortening
• 1/2 cup ice water

 

 

Directions:

 

1. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture looks crumbly. Stir in water (strain out the ice) until the mixture forms a ball. Divide in half and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for four hours/overnight. Or do like I do and stick in the freezer for 15 minutes, which works fine.
2. Roll out dough on heavily floured countertop. Don't over work it.
