How To Make pie crust
-
Step 1In a bowl, measure the flour and salt, add the Crisco and cut it in using a fork or a pastry cutter until it looks like little peas. Cover and chill completely ( at least an hour)
-
Step 2Add enough water to make the dough stick together (Tbls at a time)
-
Step 3Roll out with a rolling pin on a floured surface to at least a 10" circle. Place in pie shell. Crimp edges.
-
Step 4To bake the pie crust:dock the crust with a fork. If you have pie weights, place them in aluminum foil on top of the crust and bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes. Take pie weights out and bake an additional 5 minutes.
