The Story:
Confession. For the longest time I thought the movie was The Count of Monte Crisco. Yeah… I guess I spend too much time in the kitchen.
——-
On to less embarrassing things…I’m excited to be a Pie Partner with Crisco® this December and bring you a bunch of great pie recipes AND this amazing giveaway!
First, let’s talk pie crust.
Do you buy it pre-made from the store? How come? It’s only 4 ingredients! Flour, salt, Crisco and water. If you have a food processor, it’s even easier!
So let’s make some pie crust! (Recipe is down near the bottom.)
First: You’ll need flour, salt, Crisco and water. Make sure the Crisco is very cold and cut into small chunks. The water needs to be cold as well, so I usually put some water in a bowl of ice and spoon the water out of that.
Second: Combine the flour and salt.
Third: Add Crisco. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender.
Blend, blend…
Fourth: Add a little bit of cold water at a time until you can form a ball with the dough. I’ll just take a pinch of crumbly dough and see if it sticks together.
Fifth: Wrap and let chill for 30 minutes, OR you can leave it in the fridge for 2 days if you want to make a pie later on.
Sixth: Roll out on a lightly floured surface or use my parchment paper tip here. Fit it into your pie pan and you’re ready for an awesome pie filling!

Perfect Pie Crust and Giveaway!
Ingredients
For a SINGLE CRUST:
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup well-chilled Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
- 3 to 6 tablespoons ice cold water
For a DOUBLE CRUST:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup well-chilledCrisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
- 4 to 8 tablespoons ice cold water
For a DEEP DISH DOUBLE CRUST:
- 2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup well-chilledCrisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
- 6 to 10 tablespoons ice cold water
Instructions
-
1. BLEND flour and salt in medium mixing bowl.
-
2. CUT chilled shortening into 1/2-inch cubes. Cut in chilled shortening cubes into flour mixture, using a pastry blender (or food processor) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some small pea-sized pieces remaining.
-
3. SPRINKLE half the maximum recommended amount of ice cold water over the flour mixture. Using a fork, stir and draw flour from bottom of bowl to the top, distributing moisture evenly into flour. Press chunks down to bottom of bowl with fork. Add more water by the tablespoon, until dough is moist enough to hold together when pressed together. (You can do this step in a food processor too.)
-
4. SHAPE dough into a ball for single pie crust. Divide dough in two for double crust or double deep dish crust, one ball slightly larger than the other. Flatten ball(s) into 1/2-inch thick round disk(s).
-
5. ROLL dough (larger ball of dough for double crust pie) from center outward with steady pressure on a lightly floured work surface (or between two sheets of wax or parchment paper) into a circle 2-inches wider than pie plate for the bottom crust. Transfer dough to pie plate by loosely rolling around rolling pin. Center the rolling pin over the pie plate, and then unroll, easing dough into pie plate.
-
-For a SINGLE pie crust, trim edges of dough leaving a 3/4-inch overhang. Fold edge under. Flute dough as desired. Bake according to specific recipe directions.
-
-For a DOUBLE pie crust, roll larger disk for bottom crust, trimming edges of dough even with outer edge of pie plate. Fill unbaked pie crust according to recipe directions. Roll out smaller dough disk. Transfer dough carefully onto filled pie. Trim edges of dough leaving a 3/4-inch overhang. Fold top edge under bottom crust. Press edges together to seal and flute as desired. Cut slits in top crust or prick with fork to vent steam. Bake according to specific recipe directions.
-
Two Methods for Pre-baking Pie Crusts (Cream Pies):
-
-Pre-baking without weights: Thoroughly prick bottom and sides of unbaked pie dough with fork (50 times) to prevent it from blistering or rising. Bake crust in lower third of oven, at 425°F, 10-12 minutes or until edges and bottom are golden brown.
-
-Pre-baking with weights: Thoroughly prick bottom and sides of unbaked pie dough with fork (50 times) to prevent it from blistering or rising. Chill or freeze for 30 minutes. Line pie dough snugly with foil or parchment paper. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. Remove foil and weights. Reduce oven to 350°F. Bake 5-10 minutes or until edges and bottom are golden brown.
-
NOTES:
-
Test dough for proper moistness by squeezing a marble-sized ball of dough in your hand. If it holds together firmly, do not add any additional water. If the dough crumbles, add more water by the tablespoonful, until dough is moist enough to form a smooth ball when pressed together.
-
For ease in rolling, wrap dough in plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes or up to 2 days.

My favorite pie: tough one! Not tough pie crust but decision. I love chocolate cream, coconut cream,
a good apple, lemon. I guess I just love pie in general. I also like the little pasteries make from left-over pie crust.
We sprinkle cinnamon and sugar and dot with butter, then bake. Yum! A bakery used to make these and call them snails! Love them and the memories of helping mom in the kitchen when I was a kid.

Pecan and cherry, and razzleberry. Probably pecan is my most favorite!
My favorite pie of all time would have to be cherry!! Mmmmm…it just looks so pretty, and tastes sooooo good! :). I love all your recipes!! So glad I came across your website!!

Black Bottom is my all time favorite pie flavor but is so hard to find now.
Since I have a mouth full of sweet “teeth” I do not have a favorite pie flavor, However, being from and in the South, I often make pecan, pumpkin, sweet potato, cherry, peach, and coconut pies. My husband’s favorite is Key Lime so I make it often in the Summer months.
I use Crisco in all my pie crusts, but I prefer the butter flavored Crisco sticks. Its more flavorful for my pies and easy to cut into little squares for my pie crust.
I love your Website, Facebook, etc. Keep up the good work and let me know when I can get that new Cookbook?
It comes out in mid March!
I love pie…not sure if I have one true favorite, but in fall it’s apple or pumpkin, winter I like something that holds up to warming up say cherry or berry and of course love it ala mode!!! Summer I love either fresh peach or strawberry and Spring it’s coconut cream…. but trust me when I say I have many more I love so how do I choose! Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂
Any kind of pie, but especially berries or pecan! I just can’t pass those up! lol

I am 76 years old. I have never successfully made a pie. The recipe for pie crust was unsuccessful also. Suggestion: 1. indicate the size of pie pan. 2. Increase the recipe to allow for those of us (beginners) who could use extra ingredients for ease of rolling out the dough.
Susan
Hi Susan.
I really think she covered what you need to know to make a pie crust. Keep shortening and water extremely cold (probably good idea to put moving bowl in freezer for a few minutes too); don’t over work dough, just enough, or else gluten ruins the whole recipe; work quickly also.
I had to add a lot more water to get it to the right consistency, but it came out great!
Another tip I’d like to add that my culinary teacher taught me is to flour dough lightly once rolled out and ready to add to pie pan, fold dough “circle” in half, them in half again; pick up and place on corner of prepared pie, and unfold.
As for the pie pan, If you go to Walmart – or any place really – the size of the pans will be generally the same.
And if you want to increase the yield of the recipe, just multiply all the ingredients by the same number. For example, if you want to double it, multiply everything by 2; if you want to triple it, multiply everything by 3; if you want 10 times the amount, multiply each ingredient by 10; etc.
I hope this helps.
This was my first successful pie crust after many sad unsuccessful attempts. I would give it another try. 🙂
I realize i made a typo. I meant to say put mixing bowl cold, not “moving” bowl.
My favorite pie?! Is this a test? How can i choose between key lime and apple and pumpkin and blueberry? They’re all my favorites!!
Liked on fb! 🙂
Can I freeze the pie dough raw or baked? How would i do this?
Thanks
Why is your recipe vastly different from the recipe in your package? The recipe in the package says 2 cups flour and 1 cup crisco?
My favorite pie is cherry.
this is the best information I seen in a blog regarding pie cruss that single, double or deep dish. Thank you ….because is so useful.
