NOTE:   This pie crust is so good, you could almost eat it alone.  Use if for pies, cobblers, tarts, quiches, and especially in chicken pot pie recipes.  Delicious, buttery, and flaky.

Instructions:

  1.  Place flour and salt in bowl and mix together.  Cut in Crisco until the dough resembles small peas.  Sprinkle water over dough, 1 tablespoon at a time, and work in until dough begins to come together to form a ball.  For double-crust pie, divide dough in half for bottom and upper crusts.
 
  1.  Roll dough with rolling pin on slightly floured surface.  Using a flat turner, fold and gently turn dough over to dust with flour and prevent sticking.  Continue rolling dough to fit the pie plate size.  Fold dough gently in half and place in pie plate.  Unfold and press into bottom of pie plate.  Bake crust at 425-degrees 8 to 10 minutes for cream pies, or fill with favorite filling and bake as directed.
