Combine flour and salt in a bowl; cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle cold water (1 tablespoon at a time) evenly over surface; stir with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Shape into a ball; chill. To fit into pieplate, roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Place in a pieplate; trim off excess pastry along edges. Fold edges under and flute.
