Pie Crust Mix

Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 6 cups flour
• 2 cups shortening
• 3 teaspoons salt

Recipe

• 1 mix the flour and the salt. work in the shortening with a pastry blender or two knives or forks or whatever you have. put it in a covered container or a large zip lock bag and keep it in the cupboard until ready to use. one cup will make one crust. if your pie has a bottom and top crust (like an apple pie) this will count as two crusts. add water 1 tablespoon at a time and stir with a fork until the dough will form a stiff ball. then roll out on a floured surface. always put your rolling pin down in the middle of the dough and roll out toward the edge. this keeps the dough from splitting at the outer edges.
