How To Make double-crust pie crust

  • Step 1
    Sift the flour and salt into a medium bowl.
  • Step 2
    Add the shortening.
  • Step 3
    Using a fork or a pastry blender, cut the shortening into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized bits.
  • Step 4
    Stirring with a fork, gradually add enough water until the mixture clumps together (you may need more or less water).
  • Step 5
    Gather up the dough and divide into 2 thick disks, in one-third and two-third portions. If desired, wrap each disk in wax paper and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
