My grandma knew how to make the best pies every year for Thanksgiving. The crust is tender and flaky and so easy to make! You will never buy from the store again!
In a medium bowl stir together flour and salt. With a pastry blender cut in shortening till pea-sized.
Sprinkle water on one tablespoon at a time tossing with a fork. Push moistened dough to the side. Mix till all flour is moistened. Don't mix too much or the crust will be hard.
Form into a ball and roll out on the floured surface. Turn and flour the dough a few times till it's the size you need.
