Crisco Shortening Single Pie Crust
Source of Recipe
Internet
List of Ingredients
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup Crisco shortening
1/4 cup orange juice
Recipe
Combine flour and salt (if used) in medium bowl. Cut in Crisco using pastry blender (or 2 knives) until all flour is blended in to form pea-size chunks.
Sprinkle orange juice over flour mixture, one tablespoon at a time. Toss lightly with fork until dough forms. (May seem slightly dry and crumbly). Press into a ball. Press between hands to form 5 to 6-inch "pancake."
Roll "pancake" between unfloured sheets of waxed paper. Peel off top sheet. Trim one inch larger than upside-down 9-inch pie plate. Flip into pie plate. Remove other sheet. Press to fit. Fold edge under and flute the rim.
For unbaked pie shell, follow individual recipe for baking temperature and time.
For baked pie shell, prick bottom and sides with fork (50 times) to prevent shrinkage. Bake at 425°F for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool before filling.
*Note: For double crust, double ingredients above. Follow individual recipe for procedure.
