EASY PIE CRUST FROM PILLSBURY
BAKE OFF
 
2 cups Pillsbury All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cup shortening
5-6 tablespoons ice cold water

Whisk or sift together flour and salt until well mixed. Rub shortening into flour with fingertips or cut in using two knives or a pastry blender until mixture has lumps the size of small peas.

Fill a small glass with ice and water. Using a tablespoon measure, spoon out 1 tablespoon of ice water at a time, stirring quickly into the flour mixture, using only enough water (5 or 6 tablespoons) for the pastry to come together (mixture will be crumbly).

Divide into two portions, with the larger half being for the bottom of the pie crust. Shape each portion into a 1/2" thick disk shape. Smooth the edges. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest for 20 minutes.

Roll out on a lightly floured work surface to a size 1 1/2 inches larger than the pie pan. Fit into pan loosely.

Bake according to directions given in the pie recipe being used.

Thanks for displaying this recipe out. If it wasn't for you, me and my father would have not made our sweet potato pie. My dad forgot that my sister used the last one that was in the box from the store. So your recipe being displayed really helped us alot so thank you and have a blessed life!

Best crust I have ever tasted! I made a homemade chicken pot pie. My family says it's the best one so far. Thanks for sharing this great recipe. I hope to never buy a frozen one again. God Bless you.
