THE PERFECT PIE CRUS
THE PERFECT PIE CRUST
A recipe from Julie: Thank You Julie:
This is the recipe I use for pie crust! It’s always perfect. My Maw Maw taught me how to make this for our homemade chocolate pie 😊
Ingredients:
Serves: 8Yield:
Makes 2 pie crusts
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup butter or 2/3 cup shortening (we used Crisco)
5 -7 tablespoons cold water
Directions:
Put flour into a mixing bowl with the shortening
Using a pastry cutter, cut the shortening into the flour.
add salt and water.
Mix until dough is formed.
Roll out on flat surface. ( I never roll it out, I just put the ball of dough in the pie pan and mash it and pat it to fit the pan)
Bake at 375 degrees until brown.
