Steps:
- 1. Try watching this video first to make more sense of this recipe.
- 2. grease your pie pans with Crisco and dust with flour.
- 3. Mix the Crisco (1/2 cup for each crust), approximately 1/4 teaspoon salt for each crust, about a handful of flour for each, and 5 regular tablespoons (out of the silverware drawer) for each, into a soft dough.

- 6. Bake in preheated oven (about 400*) for about 10 minutes.
