Crust: Refrigerated Pie Crust Mix




Source of Recipe


about.com


Recipe Introduction


"I keep a tupperware container of this mix in my refrigerator. It lasts for months, and makes a really easy and excellent pie crust."


List of Ingredients





6 cups flour
1 Tbsp. salt
4 tsp. sugar
2-1/2 cups solid vegetable shortening


Recipe







Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in the vegetable shortening until mixture is the consistency of coarse meal. Store in refrigerator in airtight container.

For pie crust, scoop out 2-1/2 cups of the mix and combine it with 3-5 Tbsp. cold water and 1 tsp. lemon juice. Mix lightly with a fork, tossing the mixture, until it holds together when squeezed gently into a ball. Separate into two balls and roll out for double crust pie. Use 1-1/4 cups of the mix, 2-3 Tbsp. cold water and 1/2 tsp. lemon juice for a single crust pie.

This makes enough for 3 double crust pies.
