Ingredients
3/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon milk
2 cups flour, sifted before measuring
1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Place shortening in a mixing bowl and pour boiling water and milk over it.
Tilt the bowl and break up shortening with a fork.
Whip with rapid, cross-the-bowl strokes until all liquid is absorbed and mixture is thick and smooth as whipped cream.
It should hold soft peaks when the fork is lifted.
Combine flour and salt in a sifter and sift onto the whipped shortening.
With vigorous round-the-bowl strokes, stir the ingredients together into a dough that clings together and leaves the bowl clean.
Roll between two squares of waxed paper from the center out.
Makes enough for a nine-inch, two-crust pie
