It's really hard to ruin this pie crust recipe. It makes the most tender crust you've ever tasted! This recipe works best if you use the waxed paper method for rolling out the dough.

Ingredients
- Ingredients: shopping list
- 1/2 cup shortening shopping list
- 6 Tbsp. shortening shopping list
- 1/4 cup hot water shopping list
- 1 Tbsp. milk shopping list
- 2-1/4 cups all purpose flour shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. salt shopping list
How to make it
- Preparation:
- Place shortening in large bowl. Pour hot water and milk over the shortening. With a dinner fork, break up the shortening. Tilt bowl and beat quickly until the mixture looks like whipped cream. Pour flour and salt over shortening mixture and beat well with the fork, forming a dough that cleans the bowl.
- Divide the pie crust dough into two parts and roll out between two sheets of waxed paper. Fit into pie shell and use as directed in recipe. Makes enough pastry for a filled 2 crust 8" or 9" pie.
- To bake a single pie crust to be filled with an unbaked filling, line the pie crust with foil and pie weights (or dried beans), OR prick it with a fork. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F. oven for 13 minutes for the lined pie crust, then remove the foil and weights and bake for 7-13 minutes longer until the crust is light golden brown in spots. For pricked pie crust, bake for 20-25 minutes, pricking again halfway through baking time if the crust starts to puff up. Cool completely and fill.
