Basic Pastry Dough
Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
salt, table
shortening, vegetable, household, composite
water, bottled, generic
Directions:
Mix the flour and salt in a bowl.
Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or two knives.
Mix lightly only until the mixture resembles coarse meal and some of the shortening remains the size of very tiny peas; the texture will not be uniform but will contain crumbs and small bits and pieces.
Sprinkle the water over the flour mixture 1 tablespoon at a time and mix lightly with a fork, using only enough water so the dough will hold together.
Press the dough together into a ball.
If there are dry places that dont adhere, sprinkle a little more water over them.
