Pastry for a Single-Crust Pie: In a medium bowl stir together 1-1/4
cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry blender
cut in 1/3 cup shortening until pieces are pea-size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon
cold water over part of the flour mixture; gently toss with a fork.
Push moistened dough to side of the bowl. Repeat moistening flour
mixture, using 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time (using a total
of 4 to 5 tablespoons water), until all flour mixture is moistened.
Form dough in ball. On lightly floured surface use hands to slightly
flatten dough. Roll dough from center to edges into a circle about
12 inches in diameter. To transfer pastry, wrap it around rolling
pin. Unroll pastry into a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into plate
without stretching it. Trim pastry to 1 inch beyond edge of pie plate.
Fold under extra pastry. Crimp and form a high edge to keep filling
from bubbling over. Do not prick pastry.
