Sift flour and salt together and cut in shortening with 2 knives or pastry blender. Add water, using only a small portion at a time, until mixture will hold together. Divide dough into 2 parts. Roll out on floured board.

Line pie pan with 1 piece, being careful not to stretch dough. After filling is placed in pastry, dampen edges with cold water and cover with remaining dough which has been rolled out and slashed in several places to allow steam to escape while baking.
