| For 9" Pie | |
| Mix together |
2 Cups Sifted Flour
1 teaspoon Salt |
| Cut in | 2/3 Cup Vegetable Shortening |
| Sprinkle with | 4 Tablespoons cold Water |
If using hydrogenated shortening, add about 2 Tablespoons more water.
- Measure the flour into mixing bowl and mix salt through it.
- Using pastry blender cut in half the shortening finely until mixture looks like meal. This makes for tenderness.
- Cut in remaining shortening coarsely until particles are the size of giant peas. This makes for flakiness.
- Sprinkle with water, a tablespoon at a time mixing lightly with a fork until all flour is moistened. I use a large spoon to mix.
- Flour your hand and gather into a ball and clean the bowl.
- Put ball back in bowl and follow how we roll it out.
