Pie Crust is one of the most favored of recent trending foods in the world. It’s simple, it is quick, it tastes delicious. It is appreciated by millions daily. Pie Crust is something which I have loved my entire life. They’re nice and they look fantastic.

To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have pie crust using 5 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Pie Crust:

1. Prepare 2 1/4 Cups Flour
2. Make ready 1 tsp Salt
3. Prepare 3/4 cup Lard or Crisco
4. Prepare 1/4 cup Butter
5. Take 4-5 Tbsp Ice Water

Always keep all your ingredients cold! Chill your flour in the freezer overnight. Use ICED water, not just really-cold tap water. Work your ingredients together as fast as possible.

Steps to make Pie Crust:

1. Mix together flour and Salt. Take out 1/3 cup of the mixture.
2. Cut Crisco and butter into remaining flour with a pastry cutter until the fat is the size of peas.
3. Mix the ice water with the 1/3 cup flour mixture to form a paste. Add to the fat-flour mixture. With a fork mix and shape into a ball. Divide the dough into two parts, let rest a few minutes, then roll out.
4. Notes written by my mother. I use the smallest amount of ice water to mix it into a ball. Adding a bit more butter will allow you to mix it into a ball without using any water. I use the pastry cutter instead of a fork, adding the least amount of water possible. I also cut the flour mixture until it is grainy, not the size of peas. Use plastic wrap on the bottom and top of the pie crust when rolling it out as not to add more flour.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, rotating at 7 minutes.

Technically, puff pastry isn't a pie crust, but when you want a super-flaky topper for your chicken pot pies, this one is sure to impress. Just cut a circle the size of your pie top—whether it's a full-size or single-serve pie—and bake it on a separate pan. These sheets can also be used for other desserts, appetizers, and more. Pie crust can be made with a variety of fats, from our favorite, shortening, to the classic lard. Butter and shortening are also a great combination, and we love using vegetable oil for an extra easy, vegan crust.
