Homemade Crisco Pie Crust Recipe
The Crisco shortening makes this buttery, flaky pie crust ideal for any type of pie. And it's easy to make, too!
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- ⅔ cup+2 tbsp Crisco butter shortening (no substitutes!)
- 4-6 tbsp cold water
Instructions
- *Note: Halve the above recipe to make a single crust pie.* Combine the first three ingredients by smushing with a fork.
- Add cold water and continue to mix the dough with a fork until it reaches a fairly smooth, pastry consistency.
- Divide dough in half.
- Roll each half of the dough out between two sheets of wax paper using a rolling pin.
- Carefully transfer to pie plate, add the filling, add top crust, and seal by turning up edges.
- Poke with a fork to let moisture escape.
Notes
If you're feeling creative, you can make a design with the fork on the top crust! We've made hearts, cats, numbers, and many other symbols and words on our pies over the years.
