Recipe - Blackberry Pie

1 Three fourths cup Unsifted allpurpose flour
One half teaspoon Salt
2/3 cup Vegetable shortening
1/3 cup Cold water
1 cup Sugar
One fourth cup Allpurpose flour
1 ds Salt
4 cup Fresh blackberries,
Washed and drained

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 allpurpose 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.
