Crust for a two crust pie 
Servings: 6-8
Ingredients
  • 2 ¼ Cups Flour
  • ¾ tsp. Salt
  • 1 Cup Crisco
  • About ½ Cup of cold Orange Juice
Steps
  1. Place flour and salt in bowl and mix thoroughly.
  2. Cut in Crisco with a pastry cutter until the flour looks like little beads of goodness
  3. Slowly pour in Orange Juice into flour mix  and stir till dough comes together and holds its shape
  4. Place a large sheet of plastic wrap down on your surface and dump the dough onto the wrap
  5. Cover and shape into a ball
  6. Place in fridge and refrigerate at least one hour till thoroughly chilled
  7. Assuming you have prepared your chilled or room temp filling , have it ready to fill pie,have the oven preheated to temperature for the specific type of pie you are making
  8. Remove Thoroughly chilled  dough from the fridge
  9. Cut half of dough ball and return other to fridge
  10. Place dough on floured surface and roll out to desired size. Place in pie plate
  11. Next roll out top of pie crust
  12. Fill pie with filling(filling must be chilled or at least room temp)
  13. Place top crust on pie and crimp edges together to seal tightly
  14. Poke holes in top with fork or knife at least three , artfully !
  15. Place in preheated oven till golden brown accordingly and following your filling recipe directions!
Notes
  • If I am making a fruit pie,I use instant tapioca and follow the directions for fruit pie on the back of box. If I am making a Quiche or Pot Pie, I use ice water instead of OJ. 
  • The most important thing to consider in making any pie is that all elements should be chilled before placing in preheated oven. 
  • Fun ideas: I often add thyme and Parmesan cheese to chicken pot pie crust 
  • Cheddar cheese to Apple Pie crust 
  • Don't add a lot just enough to give flavor and not compromise the crust!
