Pastry for Single-Crust Pie

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. or 10-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Fill or bake crust according to recipe directions.
