cup shortening

tablespoons cold water (3 to 4 tablespoons)

water can be added if necessary).

Gather pastry into ball; shape into flattened round on lightly floured

cloth-covered surface.

Roll pastry 2 inches larger than inverted pie plate with floured

cloth-covered rolling pin. Fold pastry into fourths; unfold and ease into

Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll

pastry under, even with plate. Flatten pastry evenly on rim of pie plate.
