Pecan Pie Crust Recipe
This simple recipe pairs well with very sweet pies like pecan pie:
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/8 cup (3 ounces) Crisco
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Preparation
- Mix flour and salt; blend in Crisco with mixer or pastry blender to the consistency of corn meal.
- Add water and shape into a ball. Chill overnight or as long as possible.
- Roll dough to flat circle to cover a 9" pie pan. Crimp or use a fork to press the dough around the edges of the pan.
- Pre-bake pie shell for 15 minutes at 300°F. Fill and continue to bake for 45 minutes for two pies or 60 minutes for one deep-dish pie.
- The pie will rise about one inch. It should removed from the oven when it is no longer runny but moves like gelatin when slightly shaken.
- The pie will fall after leaving the oven. You can carefully smooth the hot surface with a metal spatula.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream, unsweetened or very lightly sweetened vanilla whipped cream or Bourbon whipped cream.
