Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add the cold shortening, then use a pastry cutter or fork to cut it into the flour until it becomes the size of large peas. Add water until the dough comes together.
Place one disc on a piece of wax paper on top of a large work surface. Place another piece of wax paper over the top. Begin to roll out the dough by starting at the bottom. Roll the dough out to about 12 inches around.
Gently peel back the top piece of the wax paper. Then, place the palm of your hand beneath the bottom piece of wax paper and transfer it to the pie tin (or plate), wax paper side up.
