Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup flour
1 dash salt
1/4 lb margarine (1/2 cup)
1 tbsp water , icy cold

Directions:

Set out the solid margarine stick for a while on the kitchen counter to soften it.
Mix flour, salt,and margarine with one hand in small bowl-1 1/2 quart size. You do not want the mixture to get too warm. Use your other hand to hold bowl or use 2 knives which is what I do.
Mix until you have pea-sized pebbles.
Chill for 30 minutes (or freeze and later defrost and continue with remaining directions).
Remove bowl from refrigerator; add 1 tablespoon of icy cold water. Add more if you need to.
Mix with one hand until mixture sticks together in a ball. Use other hand only to hold the bowl.
Put additional flour onto counter and rolling pin.
Roll dough into a circle for your pie.
