Best Pie Crust
This is the best pie crust recipe for making a homemade flaky, tender crust. I use this often as I am a pie baker. The trick to good pie crust is to be gentle and treat it very lightly. The proportions are nice in this pastry dough, with just the right ratio of flour to shortening to water. Everything incorporates perfectly and the dough is easy to roll out. This recipe doubles well and freezes nicely.
