Easy Awesome Pie Crust image

I learned how to do this at a Tupperware party in the 70's and I have made pie crust this way ever since. All you need is a big plastic bowl with a good lid. Of course it was a Tupperware party so you were supposed to buy that bowl, which I did but it finally bit the dust. You will be amazed at how easy and fast this makes...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 c all purpose flour
1/2-1 tsp sugar
2/3 c shortening, butter flavor
5-7 Tbsp cold water

Steps:

  • 1. Find your big plastic bowl with the lid. Go ahead, I will wait.
  • 2. Put the flour, sugar, and shortening in the bowl. (Sugar is for the dessert crust or use salt for savory crust) Put the lid on and shake it until small pea sized balls are formed. Take the lid off. Now add the water but start with four or five tablespoons at first. Put the lid on and roll it sideways. I think this is good exercise too. You don't feel so bad about eating the pie when it is done. You can make big circles in front of you for the upper arms. Open the lid to see if it has formed a ball. If not add some more water but just a little at a time.
  • 3. Now it is time to roll it out. It is very flakey because you did not touch it while making it and the food processor did not beat it up. Makes a two crust 9 inch pie or 6-8 tart shells.

Overall, I thought this pie crust recipe was pretty good. It was easy to make and it tasted good. However, I think it could be improved by adding a little bit of sugar to the dough.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some salt and sugar to the dough to make it more flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie crust turned out soggy. Not sure what went wrong.

Not a fan of this recipe. The pie crust was tough and chewy.

This pie crust was a total fail. It was dry and crumbly, and it fell apart when I tried to roll it out. I had to start over with a different recipe.

I was skeptical at first, but this pie crust really is awesome! It's so flaky and buttery, and it held up perfectly in my apple pie.
