Pie Crust - Double

2 c all purpose flour ( I use pastry flour)
1 tsp salt
3/4 c vegetable shortening
5 Tbsp cold water

Mix flour and salt in a bowl together. Cut in shortening using pastry blender (or 2 knives) until all the flour is blended in to form pea size chunks. Sprinkle with water, 1 Tbsp at a time. Toss lightly w/ fork until dough forms a ball. Divide dough in half, and press into "pancakes".

Flour dough lightly. Roll into circle between sheets of waxed paper on dampened countertop. Peel off top sheet. Transfer to pie plate. Prick sides and bottom to prevent shrinking. Cut vents onto top crust to allow steam to escape. Bake according to recipe instructions.
