preparation
Mix in medium bowl with fork. Stir flour and salt. Add shortening and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 cup mixture. Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water into flour mixture, a tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly with fork after each addition until pastry is moist enough to hold together. Press to bottom and sides of 8-inch or 9-inch pie plate; flute edges. Fill crust with fruit, mincemeat or pumpkin filling; sprinkle reserved flour on top. |
