English Pie Crusts

Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups shortening
• 5 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Cut the shortening into cubes, and toss into flour. Take your hands and crumble it up into a fine, pebbly, grainy sort of dough.

Add water, enough to make a soft dough. Form into a ball, and chill for about an hour.

When chilled, knead it a couple of times on a floured surface. Roll it out, and proceed to fill with your choice of pie fillings.
