NO-FAIL PIE CRUST



No-Fail Pie Crust image

I found this recipe in a woman's magazine back in the seventies and have used it ever since. It has never failed ME, at any rate. No matter how much this dough is handled it is always flaky and tender even if scraps need to be re-rolled. Be sure to use exact measures, levelling off with a knife. Dough can be left in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It remains soft and can be taken out and rolled at once, or it can be frozen until ready to use (thaw until soft enough to roll). For a filled pie, bake at temperature indicated in recipe you are using. For unfilled pie, bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit as directed below. Note that it is suggested you bake a filled pie versus a pie shell on different racks of the oven. The recipe makes five 9-inch pie shells or one shell plus two 2-crust pies. Preparation time includes minimum chilling time of 1/2 hour. Cooking time is for unfilled pie crust only.

Time 1h5m

Yield 5 crusts

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cups shortening (NOT refrigerated, don't use oil, lard, margarine or butter)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon white vinegar or 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 large egg

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt with a fork.
  • Cut in the shortening with a fork until crumbly.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the water, vinegar and egg; add to the flour mixture.
  • Stir until all ingredients are moistened.
  • Divide dough into 5 portions and, with hands, shape each into a flat round patty ready for rolling.
  • Wrap each patty in plastic or waxed paper and chill at least 1/2 hour.
  • When you are ready to use the pie crust, lightly flour both sides of the patty and roll out on a lightly floured board or pastry cloth.
  • Keeping the pastry round, roll, from the center, to a 1/8-inch thickness into a circle 2 inches larger than the top of the pie pan.
  • Fold in halves or quarters, transfer to the pie pan, unfold and fit in loosely.
  • Press with fingers to remove air pockets.
  • Fill the crust.
  • Place the other crust on top; flute edges with a fork and place decorative slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake as directed in the pie recipe you are following.
  • Bake pie on the LOWEST rack in oven to prevent bottom crust becoming soggy.
  • FOR A PRE-BAKED UNFILLED PIE SHELL:.
  • Prick the bottom and sides of a pastry lined pie pan with a fork.
  • Bake on the CENTER rack in a preheated 450 degree Fahrenheit oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown (a metal pan will take longer than glass).
  • Cool on a wire rack (the shell will shrink and edges pull away from pan).
  • Fill as desired.

Tips:

  • Use cold ingredients. This will help to prevent the gluten in the flour from developing, which will make the crust tough.
  • Work quickly. The less time the dough is handled, the better. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Roll the dough out evenly. This will help to ensure that the crust is evenly cooked.
  • Trim the edges of the dough. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a fork to prick the bottom of the dough. This will help to prevent the crust from bubbling up in the oven.
  • Bake the crust in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust is evenly cooked.
  • Let the crust cool before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking.

Conclusion:

Making a perfect pie crust is not as difficult as it seems. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and flaky crust that will impress your family and friends. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a perfect pie crust every time.
