Easy No Fail Crust Recipe

Recipe found Here

INGREDIENTS

• ¾ cup shortening
• 2¼ cups flour
• ½ cup cold water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large mixing bowl, cut shortening and flour together. A pastry blender is preferred, but as a newlywed without a well stocked kitchen, I have used a fork with success.
2. Then add water and stir with a fork until it forms a ball. If there's still flour at the end, add water, a teaspoon at a time. You want the dough to be stiff, not sticky, so be careful not to add too much water.
3. Divide in half. If you're only using half, you can freeze the other half now. Let the dough chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
4. If you need a baked pie shell, bake in a 350° oven for 10-20 minutes, or until the crust is cooked through and no longer translucent.
