Delicious, Easy, No-Fail Pie Dough

We love this recipe! It has been in my family for generations. It is delicious and flakey, and it always works. More importantly it is crazy easy! Below is the recipe for a two crust pie:

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 heaping cup of crisco shortening
  • Mix these three ingredients until crumbly
  • 1 1/4 cup tap water
  • Mix the water in with the flour mixture, the roll into two balls, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least three-four hours before using.
  • I always check out YouTube to flute pies. They are easy and quick.
  • Freeze what you dough you don’t use for next time.

Join me next week when I use this pie dough recipe to make my favorite Savory Chicken Pot Pie.

Until then
