MainRecipesPie | My Pie Crust

   My Pie Crust submitted by Mom Johnson
Description
Because we live in the mountains (8,000 feet) baking can be a challenge. I developed this recipe through lots of trail and error. The small amount of butter adds flavor, make sure it is COLD butter. Hope it works for you!

Directions
Combine dry ingredients; cut in shortening and cold butter to pea-sized crumbs. Don't "overwork" the dough. Put ice cubes in a measuring cup and add cold water. Add approximately 1/3 cup ice water to dry ingredients and toss/mix lightly....again...don't overmix. If you need more water, add 1 T. at a time. The dough should be moist, but not sticky. Form into 2 balls. Form each ball into a flat disk about 6 inches across, lay onto pastry cloth and roll out carefully. The more the dough gets worked with...the tougher it will be, so be gentle! Makes 2 pie crusts.
