Ingredients/Components

  • salt - 1 tsp
  • cold water - 5 6
  • shortening - 2/3 c
  • sifted flour - 2 c

How to make flaky pie crust:

Preheat oven to 400°. Sift flour with salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles fine meal. Sprinkle with water a tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly with fork until all flour is moistened. Form dough into ball. Divide in half. Roll each to 1/8-inch thickness on lightly floured board. Fit pastry loosely into pie plates. Prick bottom and sides with fork. Trim and flute edges. Bake 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.

For 2-crust pie, don't prick. Makes 2 (8 or 9-inch) single crusts or 1 double crust.
