no fail pie crust
By Coldsnap46
Pie Crust........ Yes, the dreaded Pie Crust! Not everyone is a good crust maker
- 2 cups all purpose flour (I use unbleached for everything)
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed and left in fridge until needed
- 1/2 cup butter flavored Crisco, cubed and left in fridge until needed
- 1 tsp. Kosher salt
- 1 Tbs. sugar
- 1-3 - 1/2 cup ice cold water (I always measure the water then add the ice cubes) On some days it might even take more than a 1/2 cup. I tend to just use a measuring cup and add the water as needed.
