I have heard all my life that when you make a pie crust, use the coldest water you can get and to carefully and gently use a fork to mix your ingredients. That way your crust won't become tough.

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 c crisco shortening (i use butter crisco)
1 Tbsp milk
1/4 c boiling water
2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Place first 3 ingredients in a deep mixing bowl; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy and liquid is incorporated into mixture.
  • 2. Mix flour, salt and sugar; together and add to wet mixture. Beat at lowest speed until all dry ingredients are moistened.
  • 3. Divide dough in half; shape into balls, wrap in plastic and chill at least 2 hours.
  • 4. Remove from fridge and roll between two pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap.
  • 5. TIPS: • This crust is so easy to patch when you find that you need to add a little more dough somewhere else in your pie pan. It blends so well. • The recipe calls to leave it in the fridge at least 2 hours, but so many times I am in a hurry and I do well if I leave it in the fridge a half an hour. My pie crusts still work well. (Great for Chicken Pot Pies too)

This pie crust recipe is a disaster. The dough is too dry and crumbly, and it's impossible to roll out. I've tried it several times and it's always the same result. I'm giving up and trying a different recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this pie crust recipe turned out terrible. The dough was too sticky and impossible to work with. I ended up throwing it away and starting over with a different recipe.
