Believe me I have used many?of the frozen pie shell’s you can?purchase at the store.?Who hasn’t? They are fast,?easy, and dependable… right?
However I also know that some?are better-tasting than others. ?So why not make your own?pie crust? They aren’t as hard?as you may think. Plus, they?taste like they are homemade!
I am pretty sure you have all?the ingredients in your pantry too.
No Fail Pie Crust
*this will make 2 shells
3 C. Flour
1 1/2 C. Shortening
1 tsp. Salt
1 Egg~ beaten
5 TBSP Ice Water
1 TBSP Vinegar
Mix flour and salt together.
Cut in shortening with a pastry blender.
In small bowl beat together the?egg, water and vinegar.
Pour all wet ingredients into?the dry all at once, blend together?until all liquid is absorbed.
Divide into 2 crusts.
This is a easy-to-work-with dough?that can be re-rolled easily.
*This is a freezer friendly crust. ?Just roll out into desired size and place in?foil pan or you can also roll out dough?between 2 sheets of freezer paper,?place in plastic freezer bag.
Easy does it,
