HOT WATER PIE CRUST

Steps:
- 1. Mix together flour, shortening, salt with a fork, or pastry blender until mixture resembles the size of small peas
- 2. Bring water to a boil and add to mixture. Stir to incorporate.
- 3. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and roll into a 12" circle.
- 4. Roll dough onto rolling pin and then roll out onto pie plate. Bake as directed.
Tips:
- To make sure your pie crust is flaky, use cold butter and ice water. Grate the butter into the flour mixture, then use your fingers to work it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- When rolling out the dough, do so on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough from the center outward, rotating it as you go to ensure an even thickness.
- Before filling the pie crust, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- When filling the pie, use a thickener such as cornstarch or flour to help prevent the filling from becoming too runny.
- If you are using a fruit filling, macerate the fruit with sugar for at least 30 minutes before filling the pie. This will help to draw out the juices and make the filling more flavorful.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15-20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
