Totally Awesome Pie Pastry
Time: 5 mins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups five roses all-purpose flour or 1 1/2 cups any all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1/3 cup ice-cold water
Directions
- 1 Mix Five Roses Flour, salt and baking powder together.
- 2 Cut in shortening with two knives or pastry blender.
- 3 Add ice cold water, a little at a time, using just enough to bind the mixture so the dough can be patted lightly to form a ball. HANDLE AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.
- 4 Form 2/3 of dough into a round disc and place on lightly floured board. Save remaining dough for top crust. Roll dough from center outward, with a light, even pressure, to form a circle 1/8 inch thick and an inch larger than the pie plate.
- 5 Fold double and lift gently into pie plate. Unfold and fit loosely in place. DO NOT STRETCH.
- 6 Trim edges, allowing 1/4 to 1/2 inch extra all around. Put in a generous amount of filling. Heap fruit filling in center because it will cook down during baking.
- 7 Roll out top crust; fold double and cut slits or fancy design near center to allow steam to escape.
- 8 Brush edges of bottom crust with water, fit top crust over filling and lightly press top edges together. Trim edges evenly and flute.
- 9 Bake as directed for pie filling.
- 10 Yield: One 9 inch double crust pie or two 9 inch single shells.
- 11 Single Shell:.
- 12 Use only 1/2 of dough for each single shell. Arrange bottom crust in pie pan as above.
- 13 Press pastry to rim of pie plate; flute.
- 14 Add filling. Bake as directed for filling.
