Recipe Introduction
Posted by: queenietwo This is the one Crisco had on their box many years ago. It never fails me
List of Ingredients
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup of Crisco (or any shortening)
1/4 cup of butter
1/2 cup of cold water.
Recipe
Mix the salt into the flour. Use cold from the fridge shortening and butter and cut it into the flour mix with a pastry blender, or two knives, until small chunks. Mix in the cold water just until mixed. If it is too dry add more water at tablespoon at a time. It it is too sticky mix in some more flour. Roll out on a lightly floured surface. Makes 3 pie crusts.
I have found also over working it with your hands makes it less flakey and tough. I would recommend you make the dough at least 20 minutes before you want to roll it out. The moisture works through the dough better that way.
