List of Ingredients

4 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons salt

Recipe

1. Mix 1 cup Crisco with the flour and salt. Blend with pastry blender. Add the remaining 1/2 cup Crisco and blend until it resembles coarse meal.

2. Gradually add 1/2 cup ice water until mixture comes together. (It may be necessary to add 2 tablespoons extra ice water if crust is too dry.)
