The World’s Most Perfect Pie Crust Recipe: A Family Tradition

Introduction to an Irresistible Pie Crust

Making the perfect pie crust can be a daunting task for many bakers. However, with the recipe passed down from my husband’s grandmother, achieving a flawless crust every time is within reach. This method has been tried and tested, ensuring you get that ideal flaky texture we all crave.

Ingredients Needed for Success

To create this simple yet wonderful pie crust, you will need the following ingredients: 1 1/2 cups of shortening, 3 3/4 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 3/4 cup of ice-cold water. Each component plays an essential role in yielding a crust that is not only easy to roll out but also delicious.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by cutting the shortening, flour, and salt together with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This technique is crucial as it helps incorporate air, resulting in a tender crust. Next, gradually add the ice-cold water a little at a time, mixing until the dough is just rollable. Too much handling can develop gluten, which means tough crusts. Finally, roll out the crust on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Once you have your crust rolled out, it’s ready to be placed in a pie dish and filled with your choice of delicious fillings. This recipe not only ensures a perfect crust but also creates a beautiful family tradition worth cherishing.
