Ingredients

3/4 c shortening
1 Tbsp milk
1/4 c boiling water
1 tsp salt
2 c sifted, all purpose flour

6. For pre-baked pies, prick with a fork and bake 10 to 12 min. @ 450 while watching closley to prevent over baking. If making an apple, peach, pumpkin, etc., bake according to pie recipes directions.

Tips:

For the best results, use ice-cold water and butter. This will help to keep the dough cold and flaky.
Work the dough quickly and gently to avoid overworking it. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to make the dough easier to work with and prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid over-rolling. Over-rolling will make the dough tough.
Bake the pie crust at a high temperature (425°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Water whip pie crust is a delicious and versatile pie crust that can be used for both sweet and savory pies. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time. With its flaky texture and buttery flavor, water whip pie crust is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
