Gradually add flour mixture to shortening mixture, mixing until dough forms. Shape into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour.

  3. ROLL dough from center outward with steady pressure on a lightly floured work surface (or between two sheets of wax or parchment paper) into a 11-inch circle. Transfer dough to 9-inch pie plate by loosely rolling around rolling pin. Center the rolling pin over the pie plate, and then unroll, easing dough into pie plate. Trim edges of dough leaving a 3/4-inch overhang. Fold edge under. Flute dough as desired.
