  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup solid vegetable shortening
  • 1/2 cup ice water

Preparation

Step 1

in a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and sugar. Add the shortening and work it through with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Add the water, 1 Tbsp at a time and work it with your hands until you have a smooth ball of dough.

Step 3

Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface.

Step 4

Roll the dough out on the floured surface into a circle about 14 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Gently fold the circles in half and then half again so that you can lift it without tearing it and unfold into a 9 inch pie pan.
