Basic Pie Crust Recipe
Just remember...this pie crust recipe is EASY to prepare. No matter if you're planning to bake a tangy, tart or sweet pie, rest assured the compliments are about to fly!
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour Instructions: In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until pieces are pea-size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of water over the mixture; gently working with a fork. Add one teaspoon of water until all the dough is moistened. Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, flatten one dough ball. Roll from center to form a 12-inch round circle. Wrap the rolled pastry around the rolling pin. Ease it into pie plate, being careful not to stretch the dough. Fill with your favorite berry filling--mine would be strawberry...of course! Take the remaining dough and roll it into into a 12-inch circle. Cut the dough into 1/2 inch strips. Weave the strips over the pie filling. Brush pastry top with a little milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 375° for 50 minutes. To prevent overbrowning, cover the edge of the pie crust with a pie crust shield. Bake for 25 minutes, remove foil/shield and bake for additional 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 8 servings
