I'm asked everytime someone eats one of my pies what my recipe is for a flakey pie crust. I can't believe I'm telling!
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 c
- gold metal all purpose flour
- 1/2 Tbsp
- salt
- 1/2 c
- crisco
- 9 1/2 Tbsp
- ice water
How to Make My Flakey Pie Crust
- 1With a hand chopper, cut the Crisco into the flour and salt (using a glass bowl) until it resembles little peas. Slowly add "ice" water little at a time using a meat fork to blend it. You want the dough soft and pliable, not moist!
- 2On wax papersprinkled with flour, make a round dough ball and roll it in the flour. Using a top sheet of wax paper, roll it all directions until a circle is formed. Roll it up on the rolling pin and place in the pie plate. Using your knuckles and thumb, flute the edges. Prink crust with fork if making a cream type only.
- 3Bake @375 for 25 to 30 mins until slightly browned. Put a piece of wax paper down in baked shell while cooling.
