Step 1

Heat oven to 350°. In a bowl, stir together flour and salt. Add shortening; rub shortening into flour to form pea-size lumps. Add 1⁄4 cup cold water; mix. Gather dough into a ball; transfer to a floured surface; flatten into a disk. Using a rolling pin, roll out dough into a 12" circle; transfer to a 9" pie dish. Trim edges and crimp dough; set aside.
