List of Ingredients
PASTRY FOR DOUBLE CRUST PIE
2 cups flour
¼ teaspoon salt
3 cups shortening
6 to 7 tablespoons ice water
Recipe
Preheat oven to 4500F. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in half the shortening until mixture resembles corn meal. Cut in remaining shortening until mixture is the size of small peas. Sprinkle water, a tablespoon at a time, over mixture. Gently mix with a fork after each addition, pushing mixture to side of bowl until all is moistened. Divide dough in half. Form each half into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, flatten one ball of dough. Roll out dough from center to edges, forming a circle. Flour top of pastry; fold half the circle over the other half, then fold in half again. Place pastry in pie shell and unfold. Roll out remaining dough for top crust. For baked shell, generously prick bottom of pie shell with tines of a fork. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
