Pie Crust

I've had a few requests for my pie crust recipe to make with the chicken pot pie. Here it is; super easy, just a few basic ingredients. Don't over process it or it will turn out like rubber. Basic lesson here is: the less you touch it the better it will be!

Single Pie Crust

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening
3 tbs cold water

Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in one medium sized bowl. Use a fork to cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles crumbs. Drizzle 3 tbs cold water over the mixutre and continue to mix with the fork.
2. As the dough starts to come together use hands to squish in all of the flour. If dough falls apart add in a few drops of water being careful not to overdo it as dough can quickly become too wet.
3. On a floured surface kneed two or three times.
4. Push dough with hands into a round disk, lay on the floured surface.
5. Roll out dough with a rolling pin.
