Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening with pastry cutter or 2 forks

* Step 2

Add ice water (without the ice) in small increments, mixing gently with a fork until it will hold into a ball. The more you work the dough, the tougher it will be.

* Step 3

Form 2 balls. Roll half the dough to 1/8 inch. Tip: roll lightly in all directions in order to keep it basically round. If it starts to split, pinch together and roll across the split.

* Step 4

Line pie pan. Tip: to prevent tearing, fold in half and slide into pan.

* Step 5

Add filling. See “homemade Cherry pie filling” or “delicious chicken pot pie” for ideas.

* Step 6

Roll out second crust same as above, fold in half and lay on top. Both crusts should hang over the edge all around.

* Step 7

Trim edges. Tuck top edge under bottom edge.

* Step 8

Crimp with a fork or make a fluted edge with finger tips.

* Step 9

Poke multiple holes in the top crust with fork (or make pretty designs if you are more artistic than me) too allow steam to escape.

* Step 10

Bake at 350• F until crust browns. Usually about 40-45 min.

* Step 11

Don’t throw away the crust scraps! Lay them out on a cookie sheet, dot with a little butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 350• F for about 10-15 min until browned. It’s a great little sweet treat to nibble on!
