Ingredients for Pie Crust

1 ½ Cup Flour

½ tsp Salt

½ Cup Shortening

4-5 Tbl Water

​

Instructions for Pie Crust

1. In a bowl, stir flour and salt together.

2. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening into flour mixture. Mixture should look crumbly.

3. Add in 4 Tbl water, mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes dough like. If it looks or feels dry, add in another Tbl water.

4. Gently, knead the dough for a minute. Form the dough into a ball. Place in refrigerator for 15 minutes (this will help solidify the fat).

5. Remove dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface roll out dough to the shape of the pie place. Pie crust should be ¼ inch thick. The size of rolled dough should exceed pie plate by about 2 inches.

6. Place the crust onto a greased pie plate and adjust crust to fit the plate. Trim the edges. Use fingers to gently press top of the crust into the edges of the pie plate. Use a form to puncture small holes in bottom of the crust to release steam.

7. Pre-bake the crust for 7-8 minutes at 375 Degrees.
