List of Ingredients




2 cups flour
ice water (about 3 tbsp)
½ cup oil, margarine, or shortening

Recipe



Mix flour, salt, and shortening. Add enough ice water so it holds together. Knead for several minutes, roll out and place in pan. Tip: place dough between two sheets of wax paper when rolling it out. If you don't roll it out between two sheets of wax paper, fold it in half, and then again in quarters (after rolling!), to place dough in pie so it doesn't tear. Then unfold and arrange in pan. If the dough tears, dip your fingers in water and press it back into place, or "patch" with extra pieces of dough, moistening the fingers first. Note: there are as many different recipes for pie crust as there are cooks. This recipe is among the less complicated possibilities, but there is no doubt that pie crust is challenging. Practice makes perfect, though, so keep working on it.
