Pie Crust

Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
shortening, vegetable, household, composite
water, bottled, generic

Directions:
Place flour in medium sized mixing bowl.
Add 1/3 cup (80 ml) shortening and using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut in the shortening until mixture looks slightly crumbly (Do not overwork!
).
Add remaining 1/3 cup (80 ml) shortening and cut in with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the 5 tbsp (70 ml) water all at once to the mixing bowl and stir until the pastry begins to come together.
Use your hands to form the dough into two balls of equal size.
Roll out one pastry ball at a time on a lightly floured surface, coating the rolling pin with flour as needed to prevent the pastry from sticking to it.
Bake pie as directed in pie filling recipe.
