Sift together flour and salt in a mixing bowl.Cut in shortening with a
pastry blender until mixture resembles large coarse crumbs. Sprinkle water
over flour mixture,using a fork to stir it in gently to make it gather into
a ball (the less water the better - just enough to hold it together).Turn
out onto a lightly floured board and shape with your hands into two
balls,one slightly larger than the other.Chill dough for 1 hour,then roll
out large ball to fit the bottom of a 9 or 10" pie dish.Now,mix sugar and
all-purpose flour in a separate bowl,then add a dash of salt and stir in
berries.Pour mixture into the empty pie shell,then roll out remaining ball
of dough to make top crust.Crimp and trim edges,then slash the top crust in
several places.Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes or
until golden brown.Makes 1 - 10" pie.
