Cook Time: 45 to 55 minutes
Prep Time: 20 min Servings:
8 servings
Pie Crust (yields one - 9" pie shell)
1 tablespoon Crisco,
1/4 cup butter, frozen and grated,
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup ice water
In a bowl, cut Crisco and butter into the flour, salt and sugar until mixture resembles
coarse crumbs. Sprinkle ice water over the mixture, blend just
until dough comes together. (adding too much water can make crust tough and leathery).
Roll out dough on a floured board about 1 inch larger than pie plate.
Fold dough in half and place in pie plate, unfold to fill pie plate, set aside
to make filling.

until knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean. (Do not over
bake or crust will separate from
