Directions
Mix shortening into the flour, using 2 knives or a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add cold water gradually and mix with a round bladed knife to a stiff dough which should leave the sides of the bowl cleanly.
Knead pastry lightly until smooth.
Wrap pastry and chill.
Roll out and use as required.
