Easy Pie Crust Recipe
I love making pies and since I have fruit trees in the yard, I make lots of them. Of course my husbands favorite is lemon, but apple and peach are a close second. I think a lot of frozen crusts from the store work, but for me, I love the flaky crust this recipe makes
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Crisco Shortening (not butter flavored)
- 3 Cups AP flour
- 1/2 Tsp salt

Directions
- In a large bowl, place flour, salt and shortening,
- Use either your hands, 2 forks or a dough blender to cut the shortening and flour into small pea sized pieces,
- Add ice cold water a tablespoon at a time, using your hands to blend it in, as soon as the dough comes together, stop
- Form this into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes or more
- Take out of the refrigerator and place on a floured surface, roll dough turning it as you go
- Place into a 9 inch pie dish and cut off excess dough, crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork
