Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 3/4 cups Unsifted all-purpose flour
2/3 cup Vegetable shortening
1 cup Sugar
Dash salt
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/3 cup Cold water
1/4 cup All-purpose flour
4 cups Washed fresh blackberries

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.
