Food Processor Pie Crust

Let's face it - I'm lazy.  I really enjoy the easy way out.  This crust to totally the easiest way I know to make a pastry crust.

1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/3 c. plus 1 teaspoon of shortening
1/2 t. salt
3 Tablespoons ice water

Assemble your food processor using the cutting blade.  Add flour, shortening and salt to the blender bowl.  Pulse until flour and butter are blended and the mixture looks like crumbs.

Add water while pulsing until mixture looks like large crumbs.  Remove from food processor and gently press crumbs into a ball.  Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Roll out crust and use as desired.
