Pie Crust by
Ingredients
1 cup flour
1/3 cup shortening or butter (or combination of the two)
1/4 tsp. salt
Cold water
Instructions
Add salt to flour and stir to blend well. Cut in shortening/butter until the fat is evenly distributed throughout. Add enough water to hold the dough together (start with about 1/4 cup and then add one teaspoon at a time).
Roll into circle and place in pie pan, trimming as needed. Fill and bake as directed in your pie recipe.
If crust is to be baked alone, prick with a fork and bake at 425 until browned. This will only take about 6-9 minutes.
*This makes a single crust. If you want your pie to have two crusts, you need to double the recipe.
