Prepare
crust: Put flour and salt into a bowl. Add
shortening and cut into the flour mixture using
a pastry blender. The flour mixture should be in
pea-size granules before you add the water. Add
water and mix well to form a ball of dough.
Knead the dough gently using excess flour to
keep it from getting sticky. Roll out with a
rolling pin on a floured surface. Place in a 9½"
pie plate and crimp edges. Set aside. |

and mix with your fingers. When you get nice
size bits of streusel topping, sprinkle it on
the pie. Add a little extra butter in little
chunks on top. |
