Double pastry crust (for pie)

Double Crust Pastry - I forget where I got this

2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
2/3 c. shortening
5-7 Tbsp. cold water

In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture is the size of peas. Add water, a little at a time, while tossing and stirring with a fork. Form into a ball. Divide in half. Flatten one half on a floured surface, to 1/2 inch thick. Roll into a circle 1 inch larger than pie plate. Fold pastry in half, transfer to a pie plate, unfold.
