How To Make my pie crust i always make

  • Step 1
    Put flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl and mix together. Add the Crisco butter shortening and mix together really good.
  • Step 2
    Ice water is the key... I start out with 6 tablespoons at first and add if needed. I like mine a little sticky; it rolls out better.
  • Step 3
    With a pastry cloth floured, roll out your pie crust. I roll my crust up on the rolling pin and roll it out gently in the pie pan.
