While I'm posting holiday pie recipes I ought to get this up too. I don't remember where the recipe came from, but I've used this for as long as I've been baking pies. So simple, there's almost no justification for purchasing pre-made pastry.
Makes 2 9” pie crusts.
2 C flour
1 tsp.
salt
¼ C ice
water
¾ C
shortening
Mix
together flour and salt. Take out 1/3 of
the flour and mix with the water to make a paste. Cut shortening into the dry flour. Add the paste and mix well.
The
dryer the pastry, the harder it is to roll out, yet the flakier it will be.
