Two 9 inch pie crusts
2/3 cup + 2 tablespoons shortening or 2/3 cup lard (137 grams)
2 cups all purpose flour (240 grams)
1 teaspoon of salt
4 to 5 tablespoons cold water
Cut shortening into flour and salt until it is the size of small peas. Sprinkle in water about a tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork until all the flour is moistened and the pastry almost cleans the side of the bowl.
Shape into 2 balls and roll pastry on a floured surface to about 5 cm larger than inverted (upside down) pie plate. Fold in fourths , place in pie plate. Unfold and shape to the pie plate.
Once again any questions just ask.
