Mom's crust was some of the best.
She never touched it with her hands.
2 c all-purpose flour
1 ts salt
more than 3/4 and less than 1 c Crisco
4 1/2 Tbls ice water
Add salt to flour
add Crisco and cut with
knife and fork until it looks like cornmeal.(no big clumps)
Add Tbls of water one at a time tossing with fork
as you do. Roll in a tight ball in wax paper and
refrigerate for at least 30 min.
When you're ready to make pie...
Divide in 1/2 and roll out between 2 sheets of wax paper.
No flour. Place in pie pan by removing one side of paper
and then invert it into pie plate and peeling off second piece
of paper. Help it off by scraping with a knife if you need to.
Roll the top the same way.
