Rich Short Pie Crust

August 15, 2009 | By Admin In Pies |

1 1/2 cups pastry flour

2/3 cup vegetable shortening

2/3 teaspoon salt

About 1/3 cup ice cold water

Sift flour and salt together, and rub in shortening with tips of fingers. When mixture looks like coarse bread crumbs, moisten, using only just enough water to wet flour – not enough to make it at all sticky. Turn onto a floured board, roll out once and use for any rich pie.
