- 1/2 cup ice water
Instructions
- Place the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the shortening and cut it in with a pastry blender, or use your hands, as I do. Add the water, a tablespoon at a time, kneading until the dough is smooth. Roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan.
Reviews
I was actually able to fill 3 9 inch pie pans with this crust and that was a big help for Thanksgiving
This was a very easy pie crust to make and it was very good. I’ve never been able to make a good homemade crust, but this was GREAT!!
Simple easy directions, but perhaps using butter flavored shortening or real butter would enhance this crust.
