1 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c shortening

Combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening. Sprinkle water over mixture, a tablespoon at a time until dough is just moist enough to hold together. Do not overmix. Flour surface. Roll out a base ball~soft ball size ball. Roll in all directions.Using a spatula, fold crust in half for easier placement. Lay folded crust in pie tin. Trim with a butter knife.

Bake according to pie recipe. For a baked pastry shell, shape edges, pierce copiously with a fork and bake at 450 for 8-10 min.
