An absolute cinch to prepare! The combination of ingredients makes the the best pie ever that crust will flaky to the last slice !! Definitely a winner !!
YOU’LL NEED:
– Pastry flour: 3 C.
– Shortening: 1/2 C.
– Cold butter: 1/2 C.
– Ice-cold water: 1/2 C.
– White vinegar: 1 TBSP.
– Salt: 1 TSP.
HOW TO MAKE IT :
STEP 1 :
First of all, sift the flour with salt in a wide tub. You can the split the shortening and the butter, just until coarse crumbs resemble the mixture.
STEP 2 :
Pick a cup and mix in together the water and vinegar. Immediately add the vinegar mixture to the crumbs and mix together until the dough is packed together and manages well.
STEP 3 :
Make sure to spread the flour on the counter before rolling out the dough. And please divide it into two chunks of dough.
STEP 4 :
You should roll one piece out on a floured board. You’ll want to roll about 1/2 an inch bigger than the pie pan with the dough. Okay now, lay the crust in the pie plate, pressing down gently on the bottom and sides of the plate.
STEP 5 :
If you make just a bottom crust, you may want to turn the edge under and use the “flute” thumbs on the sides of the dough.
STEP 6 :
You can fill the pie, roll out the other half of the dough, and lay it on top of the filling if a double-crusted pie is made. Always remember to fold the top dough under the bottom dough and seal it together by using your fingers.
STEP 7 :
Bake time depends on your pie recipe directions.
#RECIPE NOTES:
This recipe is enough for a double-crusted pastry.
