Quick and Tasty Pie Crust

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup shortening

4 to 5 tbsp warm water

Sift together flour and salt in large bowl.  Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the flour mixture is about pea size pieces.

 Add three tablespoons of water and mix together, if needed add up to five tablespoons until you have the consistency you are looking for.  You do not want the dough to be too wet, it will not taste good or roll out right.  

Once you have the dough the consistency you are looking for, lay it out on a lightly floured surface.  Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness.  

Fold the dough in half, place your ungreased pie pan near it and lay the crust into the pan.

Using a butter knife, cut around the edges of the pie pan so your crust fits into the pan.  Using a fork, poke holes in the crust.  On the bottom and don't forget the sides!  

 Bake the crust at 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are slightly browned.  Fill with your favorite pie filling and enjoy!
