NO-FAIL PIE CRUST
I found this recipe in a woman's magazine back in the seventies and have used it ever since. It has never failed ME, at any rate. No matter how much this dough is handled it is always flaky and tender even if scraps need to be re-rolled. Be sure to use exact measures, levelling off with a knife. Dough can be left in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It remains soft and can be taken out and rolled at once, or it can be frozen until ready to use (thaw until soft enough to roll). For a filled pie, bake at temperature indicated in recipe you are using. For unfilled pie, bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit as directed below. Note that it is suggested you bake a filled pie versus a pie shell on different racks of the oven. The recipe makes five 9-inch pie shells or one shell plus two 2-crust pies. Preparation time includes minimum chilling time of 1/2 hour. Cooking time is for unfilled pie crust only.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt with a fork.
- Cut in the shortening with a fork until crumbly.
- In a small bowl, beat together the water, vinegar and egg; add to the flour mixture.
- Stir until all ingredients are moistened.
- Divide dough into 5 portions and, with hands, shape each into a flat round patty ready for rolling.
- Wrap each patty in plastic or waxed paper and chill at least 1/2 hour.
- When you are ready to use the pie crust, lightly flour both sides of the patty and roll out on a lightly floured board or pastry cloth.
- Keeping the pastry round, roll, from the center, to a 1/8-inch thickness into a circle 2 inches larger than the top of the pie pan.
- Fold in halves or quarters, transfer to the pie pan, unfold and fit in loosely.
- Press with fingers to remove air pockets.
- Fill the crust.
- Place the other crust on top; flute edges with a fork and place decorative slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake as directed in the pie recipe you are following.
- Bake pie on the LOWEST rack in oven to prevent bottom crust becoming soggy.
- FOR A PRE-BAKED UNFILLED PIE SHELL:.
- Prick the bottom and sides of a pastry lined pie pan with a fork.
- Bake on the CENTER rack in a preheated 450 degree Fahrenheit oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown (a metal pan will take longer than glass).
- Cool on a wire rack (the shell will shrink and edges pull away from pan).
- Fill as desired.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, and sugar until well combined. Using clean hands, add butter and toss until just coated. Rub butter between thumb and forefingers to incorporate into flour mixture until butter is in lima bean-sized pieces and comes together in quarter-sized clumps when squeezed in palm, about 2 minutes. Add shortening, toss until just coated in flour, then rub into flour mixture until mixture forms pea-size pieces (some big chunks should remain) and comes together in fist-sized clumps when squeezed, about 1 minute. Drizzle in half ice water and rake through mixture with fingers until just moistened. Drizzle in remaining water 1 tablespoon at a time and comb through mixture with fingers to moisten. It will go from being a shaggy mess to coming together. Dough is moist enough when it is moistened through but is not wet when pressed. (Do not overwork the dough or it will become tough.)
- While rotating the bowl with 1 hand, push dough between other palm and side of bowl to gather into a ball. Turn dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, press it into a flat disk, then close in wrap. Place in coldest part of refrigerator (usually back bottom shelf) at least 30 minutes before rolling out and forming into a crust.

FLAKY FOOD PROCESSOR PIE CRUST
This is a basic white flaky pie crust, made in the food processor. The secret to good crust is to have everything very cold and to handle it as little as possible. Use frozen or almost frozen lard, butter, and/or shortening as your fat and ice water, and then chill the dough well before rolling. Process the dough as little as possible and use only the amount of water needed to allow YOU to form it into a ball, not the machine.

Steps:
- Measure the flour into the processor with the regular blade attached. Add the unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and shortening, cut into cubes. (Your fat should be frozen or very cold. You may vary the proportions, or use some lard, but the total should be 9 tablespoons.) Add salt. Pulse three times with three counts per pulse to lightly mix the ingredients.
- With the motor running, pour ice water into the workbowl just until the dough just starts to get noticeably crumbly. Don't wait until it is a big clump or it will be way too wet and will turn out tough.
- Stop the machine, dump the crumbly dough into a bowl, and gather the dough into a ball with your hand. you can squeeze it a bit to make it stick together. If it just won't form a ball, add a tiny bit more water. (Note that if you are making crust in the food processor, you will use less water than most recipes call for.)
- Wrap your dough ball in wax paper or plastic wrap and chill it about 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Roll it out on a cool surface if you can. Then follow your pie recipe for baking.

EASY, NO FAIL PASTRY CRUST
I never made pies before this recipe because it never came out right, and I always had a hard time rolling it out. I was watching Martha Stewart one day, and decided to try her recipe with a few of her tricks and it works!! I haven't had any trouble since.

Steps:
- Measure the flour, salt, and sugar into a food processor.
- Add a few 1 Tbsp butter piece at a time, and pulse until coarsely chopped.
- Repeat until all butter has been incorporated. Don't pulse too much in between.
- Add a couple of tablespoons of water and pulse. Repeat until the dough is just forming little balls, and falls from the sides.
- Place half the mixture on a sheet of plastic wrap and squish the particles together until you form nice disc. Wrap the disc in the plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- KEY: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before rolling out.
- Repeat with remaining dough.
- This recipe freezes well, so if you only need one 9in pie crust, you can save the other for next time. Just allow time for it to defrost naturally. Don't put in microwave.

7 TIPS FOR PERFECT FLAKEY PIE CRUST AND RECIPE FOR NO-FAIL ... - FOOD …
From kitchenventuresbya.com
- Flour - fat - water ratio. Although most pie doughs only use 4 main ingredients which are flour, fat, water and salt, you'll need a good ratio of the ingredients to be able to make a good one.
- Pick your fats. I've learned a lot about the different fats for pie doughs and how best to work with each kind. Almost all recipes use butter, with good reason - it has the most flavour.
- Keep ingredients COLD. Regardless of what kind of fat you use, the main trick is that your ingredients need to be COLD. This ensures that when rolled out, you still have those pockets of fat that evaporate when baked and creates layers.
- Do NOT use your hands. In keeping with tip #3, use a food processor or pastry cutter to incorporate the fat. The warmth from your hands can melt the fats into the dough.
- Add some vinegar. An unusual ingredient, but essential. The vinegar helps to tenderize the dough and slightly inhibits the gluten development, leading to a dough that is flakier and easy to work with.
- Don't overwork your dough. Combine the dough just enough until it comes together but doesn't fall apart. The more you work it will result in a tough dough, and you will be breaking down the fats thus not getting the flakey layers.
- Egg wash the bottom! What?! Yep. This may be one of the more important tips I can ever give you. Once you've placed your rolled out dough into your dish, egg wash the bottom and sides then refrigerate while you prepare your filling.
