Southern Pie Crust
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Crisco vegetable shortening
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 6 tbsp Ice Water
- Cut shortening into flour and salt with a pastry cutter or two knives.
- Mixture will be crumbly when properly cut in.
- Add 6 tablespoons ice water.
- Shape into a ball by first folding dough toward middle of bowl with a cake spatula.
- (Don't handle dough any more than necessary as your hands will heat dough making it hard to work with.)
- Place half dough ball onto floured cutting board, countertop, or mat and roll into a circle larger than top rim of pie pan.
- Repeat with other half.
- This recipe makes one double crust pie or two single crust pies.
- For filled pies such as lemon meringue, coconut cream, or chocolate cream, bake empty crust at 425F for 15 -18 minutes before filling.
