Directions:

  1. *Use CRISCO shortenings ONLY.
  2. Sift together the flour & salt into a medium size bowl.
  3. Add the butter flavor CRISCO.
  4. Using your clean hands ONLY, mix together until small, pea-size pieces.
  5. Add the cold water & mix until everything is moistened - do NOT overmix!
  6. On a floured board or table, knead 5-6 times as you would bread.
  7. Form into a ball & SLAP.
  8. Let rest 10-15 minutes.
  9. Divide as needed & roll to desired size.
  10. The LESS you handle pie dough, the BETTER!
  11. This makes enough for 1, 10 inch, double-crust pie.
  12. If making a single-crust, poke holes all over the bottom & sides, using a fork - this will help prevent shrinkage.
  13. This freezes very well.
  14. *If using for a savory pie, such as pot pie or pasty, use regular CRISCO.
