Simple Flakey Pie Crust

Directions

1. 1
   ["Measure two fluffy cups of flour into a bowl.", "(That means you should shake or spoon the flour into the cup rather than digging the cup into the flour, cause you end up with a bit less flour.", "Or you could sift the flour.... but I think that is too much trouble!", ").", "Sprinkle a rounded teaspoon of salt over the flour.", "Cut-in 1/3 of a cup of shortening plus an extra dollop about one tablespoon, until the flour is the texture of cornmeal; then cut-in an additional 1/3 cup of shortening.", "(When I learned this recipe from our Grandma, she used two knives to cut-in the shortening.", "I use a pastry blender!", ").", "Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons of icy cold water over the flour mixture, and then mix it in with a fork.", "Mix in a third tablespoon of cold water and decide if you can shape the dough into a ball.", "If the dough does not want to stay in the ball shape, add one more tablespoon of the cold water.", "(The cold helps make steam in the crust as it is baking; the less water you use, the more flaky the crust, so I try to use three tablespoons.", "However, that is determined by how much flour and shortening is in the batch!)", "Form dough into 2 equal balls of dough.", "(I like to \"flatten\"" the dough ball so that I can easily roll it out.""
