Crisco Pie Crust (Enough for a double crust, 9 inch pie)
2 1/4 c sifted flour 1 tsp salt 3/4 c Crisco (heaping) 1/4 c cold water
1. Combine the flour and salt. 2. Take 1/3 c flour-salt mixture out and place in a small bowl. 3. Cut crisco into remaining flour salt mixture. 4. Combine 1/4 c water with the 1/3 c flour-salt mixture that you removed in step 2.. Combine using a spoon only until flour is moistened. 5. Add to the Crisco mixture and mix with a fork until dough follows fork around bowl & kind of forms a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into flattened rounds before rolling . *Hint: The whole process is much,much easier if you have or buy a pastry cloth with a frame, and a "sock" for your rolling pin. Often the frame comes with a sock. There is no comparison between a homemade crust and a store bought one!!
