Easy Peasy Pie Crust
Pin It
Here is a bulk recipe for pie crust. This makes about 22 single crusts. Make it all at once and store in freezer til ready to use. They are good in the freezer for about a year. Mom gave me this recipe and we often will make a big batch and split it between the two of us. Great to have on hand for pot pies too!
The ingredients:
One 5 lb. bag of all purpose flour
One 3 lb. can of vegetable shortening (i.e. Crisco)
2 Tbsp. salt
3 Cups cold water
In a very large bowl, combine flour and salt well. Cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry cutter.
Continue working at cutting in shortening until the size of peas.
Add water a little at a time until well blended.
Shape into approximately 22 balls of dough.
Place in FREEZER bags for storage in freezer compartment. You can store as many as you like in each bag, however.......
I usually put two dough balls into each bag. Great for a cobbler or pot pie or a two crust pie, or for two single crust pies or quiches.
Can also be pressed into a round disk shape for easier "rolling out" or just in case the rest of the family might think you saved snowballs from a recent snow!
