FLAKY FOOD PROCESSOR PIE CRUST
This is a basic white flaky pie crust, made in the food processor. The secret to good crust is to have everything very cold and to handle it as little as possible. Use frozen or almost frozen lard, butter, and/or shortening as your fat and ice water, and then chill the dough well before rolling. Process the dough as little as possible and use only the amount of water needed to allow YOU to form it into a ball, not the machine.

Steps:
- Measure the flour into the processor with the regular blade attached. Add the unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and shortening, cut into cubes. (Your fat should be frozen or very cold. You may vary the proportions, or use some lard, but the total should be 9 tablespoons.) Add salt. Pulse three times with three counts per pulse to lightly mix the ingredients.
- With the motor running, pour ice water into the workbowl just until the dough just starts to get noticeably crumbly. Don't wait until it is a big clump or it will be way too wet and will turn out tough.
- Stop the machine, dump the crumbly dough into a bowl, and gather the dough into a ball with your hand. you can squeeze it a bit to make it stick together. If it just won't form a ball, add a tiny bit more water. (Note that if you are making crust in the food processor, you will use less water than most recipes call for.)
- Wrap your dough ball in wax paper or plastic wrap and chill it about 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Roll it out on a cool surface if you can. Then follow your pie recipe for baking.

FLAKY PIE CRUST
This homemade flaky pie crust was my Great Grandmother's. My Grandmother taught me how to make pie's using this recipe. It is a recipe that has been in my family for over 100 years.

Steps:
- Add all ingredients to a medium size mixing bowl and work with a fork until flour and shortening are mixed, and flour is picked up into the shortening.
- Next start mixing the dough by hand kneading until the dough is blended and forms a ball. Flour a board or area to roll out the dough on.
- This is when you will cut your dough in 1/2.
- Flour the area and roll the dough out with a rolling pin, flipping one or two times to prevent sticking. Roll to fit a 8 or 9 inch pie pan. Pie crust should be rolled out thin. About the width of the chocolate part of an oreo cookie. Once your dough is rolled out fold it in 1/2 to pick up and place in pie pan. Center the 1/2 crust in the middle of your pan and flip the other 1/2 over to cover the pie pan. Cut off any excess crust around the rim.
- This recipe is very forgiving, so if you make a mistake or get a tear you can easily add and piece together and still end up with a nice looking crust.
- Add filling of your choice. Because this recipe is about the pie crust I just used a canned fruit filling. Around Easter I hope to bring you a recipe filling for pecan pie that is so delicious. The pecan pie filling with this pie crust recipe is just heavenly. Oh my.and with a dollop of whipped cream on that pecan pie. Just smack me silly.you will become giggly.

- Go ahead and roll out your top crust, and place onto pie using the same technique as the lower crust. Once in place cut around edge to remove excess dough. Go around the crust rim and squeeze and crimp softly the 2 layers together to seal the outer edge of the crust around the pie. I do not like the look of going around the crust and pressing with a fork. I also don't find it very reliable, and have seen the fruit filling ooze out and cause the crust to stick when serving. So try to learn to crimp the crust. My Grandmother made the most perfectly beautiful formed crimps. I never learned her technique, but she really had a talent when it came to this.
- Prick with fork to allow venting, this will help not to have a spill over in your oven. Sprinkle top crust with sugar if desired.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes single crust, or 45 minutes to 1 hour for double crust. The last 10 minutes watch to make sure your edges are not getting to dark.
- Let pie come to room temperature, or enjoy warm with some whip cream or ice cream.
FLAKY PIE CRUST
Good & easy enough for a beginner like me. It came from Bon Appetit June 2000 at Epicurious.com. This is my first posting on Recipezaar, but this turned out so beautifully that I had to share it. We don't have a have a food processor, so I used a whisk, (takes some elbow grease) and I didn't freeze the vegetable shortening, or chill the dough first, and I used regular margarine cold straight out of the frig., as we don't like butter. I put foil around the edges of the crust so that it wouldn't get too brown, and took them off at near the end of the baking time to a get a golden brown crust, and I did freeze the crusts in the pan before putting the pumpkin mixture in, as suggested in the Spiced Pumpkin Pie recipe I used. I also did as others suggested in rolling it out between 2 sheets of waxed paper, and dusting lightly with flour so it wouldn't stick & it was a dream to work with. It turned out great. I'll post the Spiced Pumpkin Pie also in case anyone wants to try it. This recipe makes enough dough for two crusts.

Steps:
- Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor.
- Add shortening and butter and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Transfer mixture to bowl.
- Mix 6 tablespoons ice water and vinegar in small bowl; pour over flour mixture.
- Stir with fork until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry.
- Gather dough into 2 balls; flatten each into disk.
- Wrap each in plastic and chill 30 minutes.
- (Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated up to 2 days or frozen up to 1 month. If frozen, thaw overnight in refrigerator. Soften slightly at room temperature before using).
- Zelly Bell I'd say you have a way more modern oven than I do, thank goodness, and you should "tailor" this recipe to what what works for you and your oven, as I imagine most ovens are newer than mine, which I'm just used to mine now, and can even bake good cookies from scratch with it now. This recipe is simply a good easy pie crust easy enough for a beginner in even a not user-friendly oven.
- Please Do NOT be intimidated at making your own pie crust, it's not that much work and way worth it. It's more enjoyable when they compliment you to say, "I made it from scratch". Bottom line it's worth trying. If I can make a good pie crust you can too.

VODKA PIE DOUGH
We use vodka in this pie dough to make it extra flaky and tender. (Don't worry, the booze cooks off and leaves no taste behind.)

Steps:
- Pulse the flour, lard, sugar, salt and 4 tablespoons of the butter in a food processor until it has the consistency of a fine meal. Add the remaining 8 tablespoons butter, and pulse until you have pea-sized pieces. Sprinkle the vodka and water over the flour, and pulse until the dough just comes together. Evenly divide the dough between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and gently pat each into a round. Wrap each round tightly and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour and up to overnight.

EXTRA-FLAKY PIE CRUST
This easy, sturdy all-butter crust has one unorthodox ingredient in it: baking powder. Cheryl Day of Back in the Day Bakery in Savannah, Ga., learned to add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the dough from her grandmother; it helps the crust stay tender by preventing gluten from forming. But the baking powder gives it "a little lift," she said, which helps the butter and flour form flaky layers - like a biscuit.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- In a measuring cup or a small bowl, combine the water and vinegar; set aside.
- Gently toss the butter in the flour mixture until coated, then use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour. (You should have pieces of butter that range from sandy patches to pea-size chunks, with some larger bits as well.)
- Drizzle in about half of the ice water mixture and stir lightly with a fork until the flour is evenly moistened and the dough starts to come together. If the dough seems dry, add a little more ice water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time. The dough will still look a bit shaggy at this point. If you grab a small piece of dough and press it slightly with your hand, it should mostly hold together.
- Dump the dough out onto an unfloured work surface and gather it together into a tight mound. Using the heel of your hand, smear the dough a little at a time, pushing it away from you and working your way down the mass of dough to create flat layers of flour and butter. Gather the dough back together with a bench scraper, layering the clumps of dough on top of one another.
- Repeat the process once or twice more; the dough should still have some big pieces of butter visible.
- Cut the dough in half. Shape each piece into a disk and flatten it. Wrap the disks in plastic and put in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight, to rest.
- The dough can be stored for 3 days in the refrigerator or up to 1 month in the freezer. If making the dough in advance to freeze: Roll out the dough on a piece of parchment paper, then carefully roll it up in the parchment. Write the date on the parchment and pop into the freezer to firm up, about 30 minutes. Then wrap the crust securely in plastic wrap. Defrost the dough in the refrigerator overnight or thaw it on the kitchen counter for about 30 minutes before using.)
- Use the dough for double-crust pie recipes or cut it into disks to prepare Berry Hand Pies.

Steps:
- Whisk sugar, salt, and 1 1/3 cups flour in a medium bowl. Cut butter into 6 rectangular pieces (if using 1/2-cup sticks, cut them in half crosswise, then in half again lengthwise). Toss butter in dry ingredients to coat, then dump mixture out onto a work surface. Roll butter into flour until it is in long flexible strips, using a bench scraper to scrape butter off rolling pin or surface as needed.
- Use bench scraper to gather mixture into a loose pile, then drizzle 4 Tbsp. ice water over. Using your hands and the bench scraper, toss mixture until water is distributed, then gather into a rectangular pile. Roll out dough to a long rectangle with short ends about 8" wide, then use bench scraper to fold dough into thirds, like folding a letter. It will be very crumbly and loose; don't panic. Using bench scraper to help, turn rectangle 90° and repeat rolling and folding, gathering loose bits of dough from outer edges into the center and flouring surface as needed. Repeat rolling and folding a third time. Dough should be somewhat homogenous and creamy-looking with some dry bits around edges. Squeeze a bit in your palm; it should loosely hold together. If not, repeat rolling and folding. Wrap folded dough in plastic, then press it into a compact disk about 1" thick. Chill 30 minutes.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12"-14" round or oval about 1/8" thick (don't worry about cracks around perimeter). Dust surface and rolling pin with flour as needed and rotate dough often to prevent wider cracks. If dough sticks to surface, lift on one side and scatter flour underneath before continuing. Roll dough onto your pin, then unfurl it on a sheet of parchment paper. Slide onto a rimmed baking sheet and chill while you prep the filling.
- Do Ahead: Dough can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled, or transfer to a resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before rolling out.
