Categories     Breads

Time 20m

Yield 6 crusts

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups flour (or slightly more)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 lb shortening or 1 lb pure lard
1 egg
1 tablespoon vinegar
cold water

Steps:

  • Place a large sieve in a large mixing bowl.
  • Into the sieve place the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
  • Sift into bowl.
  • With a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until crumbly and no large bits or shortening remain.
  • In a measuring cup, beat the egg, add the vinegar, and enough cold water to make one cup.
  • Pour over flour mixture, a little at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to stick together.
  • Add more flour, if necessary, and knead a few times right in the bowl until you have a large, smooth ball.
  • Pat firmly into the bowl and lightly mark off six equal portions.
  • With a knife, cut through each portion.
  • Pat into round balls and place in separate plastic bags.
  • Dough will keep in the refrigerator for two weeks, or in the freezer for two months.

Tips:

  • Chilling the dough: Chilling the dough before rolling it out helps prevent it from shrinking in the oven. Chilling also makes the dough easier to handle and less likely to stick to your hands.
  • Using the right amount of water: Too much water will make the dough tough, while too little water will make it dry and crumbly. The right amount of water will depend on the type of flour you are using and the humidity in your kitchen.
  • Rolling the dough out evenly: Roll the dough out evenly to ensure that it bakes evenly. If the dough is thicker in some areas than others, it will not bake properly.
  • Trimming the dough: Trim the edges of the dough neatly before baking. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking and becoming misshapen.
  • Baking the pie crust: Bake the pie crust at a high temperature for the first 10-15 minutes, then reduce the temperature and continue baking until the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion:

With a little practice, you can master the art of making pie crust. By following the tips above, you can create a delicious and flaky pie crust that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're in the mood for a homemade pie, don't be afraid to give it a try!
