How to prepare a pie dough Crust

Pie dough Crust

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 butter, or shorterning or Lard. Each will give you a different texture. Butter makes it somewhat flaky.

5-6 tbs of water

Mix flour and salt and cut the butter in until the mixture becomes like peas.



Add the water 1 tbsp at a time, and miz with a fork until the dough comes to together.





Form in a ball and optionally knead about 25 strokes. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate until ready to use.





If the dough is kept in the fridge longer than 20-30 min, you may have to let it come to room temperature for about 5 min.

Roll and use in your favorite pie recipe.
