Pie Crust

 

 

 

2 c. flour

1 tsp. salt

2/3 c. Crisco

5½ Tbsp. ice water (more or less)

 

In mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.  Cut in Crisco with pastry blender until mixture is uniform.  Sprinkle with water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, then toss lightly with large spoon.  When all water has been added, work dough into a firm ball.  Let rest 5 minutes.  Flour board or cabinet top.  Roll out.  This makes enough dough for 1 double-crust 9 in. pie or 2 one-crust 9 in. pie shells, 1 large cobbler top and strips cooked in pie.

 

Baked pie shell - 450°F 10-16 minutes
