1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp vegetable shortening

Growers of Ontario. If not available to you, try white bean puree. Less
fat is required with bean flour than whole wheat flour for pastry.
Stir together dry ingredients, then cut in shortening until mixture is
crumbly using pastry blender or 2 knives. Try adding puree alternately
with shortening.
Whisk together egg white and a little less water if using bean puree. Stir
into dry ingredients to make a soft dough. Divide dough in half. Roll
dough out to 1/8" thickness on a cornstarch dusted surface, between layers
of waxed paper or layers of plastic wrap. Press into pan, patching if
necessary.

overhang under edge of bottom crust, press firmly together. Flue edges.
Cut steam vents. Bake as recipe directs for filling.
