Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Cups all-purpose flour
1 Teaspoon salt
2/3 Cup lard or Crisco shortening
1 Teaspoon vinegar
6 Tablespoons ice cold water
 
Makes 2 crusts
 
Combine all ingredients in your food processor container. Using steel
blade, process until dough forms a ball and pulls away from the blade, less
than 1 minute. Do not over-process or your dough will become tough. Divide
into two balls and roll out to fit pie pans, 9-inch or 10-inch. (I put the
dough between two sheets of wax paper to roll out for easier clean-up and
transfer to the pie pan.)
 
Makes two crusts
 
I divide the dough in half.
flatten on a plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When you roll out your dough you need less flour.

NOTES : This is the BEST pie crust....so easy and fast to make in your food
processor. Stays flaky and very easy to work with. I've used this many,
many times with excellent results.
