Preparation
Step 1
in a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and sugar. Add the shortening and work it through with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2
Add the water, 1 Tbsp at a time and work it with your hands until you have a smooth ball of dough.
Step 3
Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Step 4
Roll the dough out on the floured surface into a circle about 14 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Gently fold the circles in half and then half again so that you can lift it without tearing it and unfold into a 9 inch pie pan.
