This recipe was given to me over 20 years ago by my neighbor. It's a wonderfully easy crust that you pat in the pan. No rolling out is necessary. Originally it was to be mixed with a pastry cutter, but I have done it sucessfully for years with a food processor. I prefer it mostly for quiche, but have also used it for pies when in a pinch. When making this for a quiche, I have been known to add whatever spices that might go along with it, such as chili powder, garlic, nutmeg and such. Be sure that the shortening is at room temperature! I hope you enjoy it! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup shortening (i like the butter flavor one) |
3 tablespoons cold water |
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in food processor, and pulse slowly until mixture is the size of peas.
2. Slowly add in, 1 Tbls. at a time, cold water until you can form it into a ball.
3. Pat evenly into a 9 inch pie or quiche pan.
