Southern Pie Crust

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