Carrie's Pie Crust

My Grandma gave me this recipe years ago when I was a small girl before she died. I havent used anything else for years. Recently I have changed to a more stable pie crust because of a lack of humidity in the area where we live...but this crust is still the one my heart belongs to.

2. Cut the shortening in to the remaining flour mixture until pebble-ey.
