Food - Easy Pie Crust

Lets start our baking journey with a bit of honesty - shall we!   Pie crust is not hard to make.  It can be a pain in the neck, but it's not hard. My very best advice to you is to buy pre-made crust at the store.

For most baking I like the crusts that comes in rolls.


It's easy, you just unroll it and put it in a pan.  No it's not as good as homemade, but it sure is easy and versatile.





If you insist on making it, here's a recipe!

1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/3 c. plus 1 teaspoon of shortening
1/2 t. salt
3 Tablespoons ice water

Assemble your food processor using the cutting blade.  Add flour, shortening and salt to the blender bowl.  Pulse until flour and shortening are blended and the mixture looks like crumbs.

Add water while pulsing until mixture looks like large crumbs.  Remove from food processor and gently press crumbs into a ball.  Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Roll out crust and use as desired.
