Shirley's Pie Crust image

American Thanksgiving is fast approaching, so I figured that there might be people out there who might appreciate an excellent recipe for a homemade pie crust that never fails. I got this recipe from the guy I dated when I lived in Mongolia. He told me it was his grandmother's recipe, but it turns out that it's just the Crisco...

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 c shortening (i always use butter)
1/4 c cold water

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together the flour and salt. Remove 1/3 cup of the flour/salt mixture and set aside in a little bowl. Mix the cold water with the mixture in the little bowl.
  • 2. Cut the shortening into the remaining flour/salt mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You could use a pastry cutter, but I always just use my hands.
  • 3. Stir the flour/water mixture from the small bowl into the mixture in the bigger bowl. Knead until you've got a nice, pliant dough. Separate into two balls, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate ~3o minutes before rolling out for pie crusts. (Makes two [2] pie crusts)
