Pie Crust

I have tried a lot of pie crust recipes. This is definitely the flakiest and best I've found. If you try it I'm sure you'll like it.

Makes 2 crusts

2 cups flour (rounded)

1 cup butter flavor shortening

1 tsp salt

½ cup cold water

Mix salt with flour. Mix in shortening until it resembles cornmeal. Add water a bit at a time and mix until rolling consistency. (Should not be too moist, but not dry) Do not overmix.

Roll out and place in pan.

For cream pie poke with fork and bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until slightly brown.
