3/4 c. vegetable shortening
1/4 c. boiling water
1 tbsp. milk
2 c. plain flour
1 tsp. salt

Put shortening in a mixing bowl. Add boiling water and milk. Tilt bowl and with rapid strokes, beating until mixture is creamy and holds soft peaks. Sift flour and salt together; add to mixture with round-the-bowl strokes until dough clings together and cleans bowl into smooth dough. Make a flat round and roll out between waxed paper. Makes two 9-inch flaky crusts.
