How to make perfect pie crust:
Cut shortening into flour and salt mixture with fork or pastry blender until crumbs are coarse and granular. Add cold water a little at a time. Mix quickly and evenly through the flour until dough just holds together. Roll half the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Lift edge of pastry cloth and roll crust onto rolling pin. Line pie pan, allowing 1/2-inch crust to extend over edge. Add filling. Roll out top crust, making several gashes to allow escape of steam. Place over filling. Allow top crust to overlap lower crust. Fold to crust under the lower and crimp edges. Bake at 425° for 35 minutes.Recipe categories: Desserts, Pies and tarts, American.
