Pie Crust


Most Thanksgivings in the past I've made pies with store bought pie crust. This year I wanted to create the pies from scratch. Luckily, the first pie crust recipe I found was a winner.

Ingredients
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold water

Mix shortening, flour, and salt together with a form or a pastry blender until very crumbly. 


Add as much water as needed to hold together, and mix lightly with a fork.

Roll gently on a floured pastry cloth to about an inch larger than pie plate. Fold carefully in half, lift to pie dish, and unfold. Press crust into pan. If necessary, cut off an extra dough.
