Never Fail Pie Crust

Directions

1. 1
   Mix flour and salt in a bowl.
2. 2
   Cut in shortening until lumps are pea-sized.
3. 3
   Add water one tablespoon at a time.
4. 4
   Only use as much water as is necessary.
5. 5
   Dough should not be sticky, but shouldn't crumble apart either.
6. 6
   Don't handle the dough too much -- remember the more you handle pastry crust, the less flaky it will be.
7. 7
   Roll out dough to desired size and thickness.
8. 8
   I recommend doing this between sheets of waxed paper, because you won't add extra flour to the dough.
9. 9
   After the dough is in the pan, poke with fork and dab with butter.
10. 10
    For the top crust, sprinkle liberaly with sugar over the butter.
