1¾ cup Flour
2/3 cup Shortening
1 cup Sugar
1 dash Salt
½ teaspoon Salt
1/3 cup Water, Cold
4 tablespoon Flour
4 cup Blackberries
Sift together flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle water over flour mixture,using a fork to stir it in gently to make it gather into a ball. 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. Miix sugar and 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 375foven 30 minutes or until golden brown.
