NEVER FAIL PIE CRUST FOR 6 CRUSTS



Never Fail Pie Crust for 6 Crusts image

This crust has never let me down no matter what the temp. or humidity in my kitchen. Keeps 3 weeks in frig so it's great to have around the holidys or in the summer when fresh fruit is available. I'm much more likely to throw a pie together if I know all I have to do for a crust is roll it out. Not much more work than a store bought crust but there's no comparison in the quality. Got this recipe from a dear friend's 94 year old mother. Her mother taught her to make crust this way when she was a girl so the recipe's been around a long time, although I'm sure it was made with lard back then and used immediately. This is one of my most prized recipes. Cook time is chill time.

NEVER-FAIL PIE CRUST



Never-Fail Pie Crust image

This is a very pliable, workable dough. It never fails. It makes 4 or 5, 9-inch crusts, and you can refrigerate or freeze the extras for future use. Cooking time depends on the type of pie you are making. The crust alone would take about 10-12 minutes until lightly brown. In my Chicken Pie, you will need to bake it about 1...

Categories     Other Breads

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 c all-purpose flour (if you can find white lily, use it)
1 3/4 c crisco (solid) - i use butter flavored (but that is not necessary)
1 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1 egg
1/2 c cold water

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the first 4 ingredients with a fork. Stir with fork until all ingredients are moistened.
  • 2. In a separate dish, combine vinegar, egg, and water. Add to flour mixture.
  • 3. Stir with fork until all ingredients are moistened.
  • 4. Shape into ball. Chill at least 1 hour.
  • 5. Roll out to make crusts.*
  • 6. *After chilling the large ball of dough, it may be divided into five balls, wrapped, refrigerated or frozen. Yields 4-5 9-inch crusts.
  • 7. NOTE: If you make a pie using a 13"X9"X2" pan, it will take about 3/5 of the dough - or an equivalent of 3 crusts. You will find this crust to be real forgiving and very easy to work with. In fact, you don't even have to roll the ball of dough to make the bottom crust -you can pat it in the pan; and just roll out the top crust on a floured surface -or if you don't want to roll it out at all; you can flatten out the ball for the top crust and cut it in strips for a lattice crust.

NEVER FAIL PIE CRUST



Never fail pie crust image

One of the few recipes I got from my Mom.

Provided by Belinda Loucks @bettyboop97055

Categories     Pies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup(s) heaping cup of shortening
1 - egg
1-1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
3 cup(s) flour
1 teaspoon(s) cider vinegar
6 tablespoon(s) water

Steps:

  • Beat egg; add water and vinegar.
  • Blend in shortening, salt & slowing add flour mixing after every cup.
  • Divide into 3 portions of equal sizes (as close as you can eye it) Make into a ball and roll out on a floured surface, not too much flour as it will make it too brittle and fall apart. Makes 3 single crusts.
  • I was told that it freezes well although I have never done that before. So if you choose to do it please let me know how it works.

Tips:

  • Using ice-cold water and butter will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Work the dough as little as possible to avoid developing the gluten, which will make the crust tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid overworking it. Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  • Before baking, trim the edges of the dough and fold them under to create a raised edge. This will help to prevent the filling from bubbling over.
  • Bake the pie crust in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion:

This pie crust recipe is a versatile and reliable recipe that can be used for a variety of pies and tarts. By following the tips above, you can create a perfect pie crust every time.
