Easy Pie Crust Recipe

	Jackyjoe7179 / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago I love to bake pies and this is a very easy pie crust that turns out every time. It is high in shortening but the flakey crispy crust is worth it. It makes 2 9" crusts. Prep:15m Cook:20m Servings:8	Jackyjoe717

Does this look good? Yeah! / Nope

Ingredients

2 cups flour

1 cup butter flavored shortening;chilled(I use Crisco)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup ice water

Directions

Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl

Cut in shortening with pastry cutter or two forks untill crumbly and well blended

Stir in all of the water quickly to just blend all of the ingredients (the dough will be a little sticky)

Lay the dough out on a well floured board and shape into a ball. Avoid over working the dough. There will be visible streaks of shortening which is fine

Cut the dough in half and roll out to fit a 9" pie pan or a 10" if making a single crust pie.

If making a single crust pie, prick the pie shell with a fork in several places

Bake @ 375 for 15-20 minutes or untill lightly browned

If making a two crust pie, follow the baking directions for the recipe you are using.

I've been looking for an easy crust without it getting tough in the mix. I don't like cracker crusts especially when baking peach cobbler. I'll give it a try.
