PASTRY FOR SINGLE-CRUST PIE*
Steps:
- In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until pieces are pea-size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to the side of the bowl. Repeat moistening dough, using 1 tablespoon of the water at a time, until all dough is moistened. Form into a ball. Fill and bake as directed for individual pies. Food processor directions: Prepare as above, except place steel blade in food processor bowl. Add flour, salt, and shortening. Cover and process with on/off turns until most of the mixture resembles cornmeal, but a few larger pieces remain. With food processor running, quickly add 1/4 cup water though feed tube. Stop the food processor as soon as all the water is added. Scrape down the sides. Process with two on/off turns (mixture may not all be moistened). Remove dough from bowl; shape into a ball.
