My Favorite Pie Crust

Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
salt, table
margarine, regular, 80% fat, composite, stick, without salt
water, bottled, generic

Directions:
Set out the solid margarine stick for a while on the kitchen counter to soften it.
Mix flour, salt,and margarine with one hand in small bowl-1 1/2 quart size.
You do not want the mixture to get too warm.
Use your other hand to hold bowl or use 2 knives which is what I do.
Mix until you have pea-sized pebbles.
Chill for 30 minutes (or freeze and later defrost and continue with remaining directions).
Remove bowl from refrigerator; add 1 tablespoon of icy cold water.
Add more if you need to.
Mix with one hand until mixture sticks together in a ball.
Use other hand only to hold the bowl.
Put additional flour onto counter and rolling pin.
Roll dough into a circle for your pie.
