This is my Mother's pie crust - hands down-the best! I have not included the baking directions because it depends upon the filling you decide to use. Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
1 dash salt |
1/4 lb margarine (1/2 cup) |
1 tablespoon water, icy cold |
Directions:
1. Set out the solid margarine stick for a while on the kitchen counter to soften it.
2. Mix flour, salt,and margarine with one hand in small bowl-1 1/2 quart size. You do not want the mixture to get too warm. Use your other hand to hold bowl or use 2 knives which is what I do.
3. Mix until you have pea-sized pebbles.
4. Chill for 30 minutes (or freeze and later defrost and continue with remaining directions).
5. Remove bowl from refrigerator; add 1 tablespoon of icy cold water. Add more if you need to.
6. Mix with one hand until mixture sticks together in a ball. Use other hand only to hold the bowl.
7. Put additional flour onto counter and rolling pin.
8. Roll dough into a circle for your pie.
