FLAKY PIE CRUST 
4 c. flour
2 c. Crisco
1/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt

Mix together with wire whisk until crumbly (10 to 15 minutes)

Add 3/4 cup COLD water (from refrigerator or chilled with ice cubes). Form dough into 4 balls. Wrap in waxed paper and freeze 1/2 hour (I usually prepare the crust and put in the freezer while I'm cutting the apples or other fruit). Roll out on floured board. Brush crust with milk and sprinkle on top. For fruit pie, bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes then 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Makes 2 (10 inch) pies.
