iii---------------- 1/2
c
crisco shortening 1/2
t
salt 1 1/2
c
all-purpose flour* 4
tb
ice cold water
Directions:
Throw away that store-bought rolling pin...Grandma Luti allowed that
only a empty brandy bottle will work. **DO NOT USE SELF-RISING FLOUR FOR
PIE SHELLS** Blend shortening into flour and salt until dough
resembles small marbles. Sprinkle in water, one tablespoon at a time.
(Keep ice cubes in water to maintain coldness). Blend with fork while
adding water. Pastry is mixed when main ball of dough pulls bits of
pastry from sides of bowl. Gather pastry into a ball. Place in round
shape on lightly floured countertop. Roll pastry 1-1/2 to 2 inches
larger than a upside down pie tin. Place pie tin right side up and
ease pastry into pie tin and press edges firmly around edge. Create your
own design around edge or use fork to ridge the edge. These shells can
be used immediately or frozen for later use. MM Format Norma Wrenn
