1) Mix flour, salt and shortening until all crumbs, use a pastry blender or 2 forks, make sure you get this real good

2) From here remember once you add the water at this point the more you mess with your dough the tougher it will get, T ake a large cup or bowl, add a couple ice cubes to it, from this measure out your 7 tablespoons of water, slowly sprinkle all over the flour mixture, one right after the other, when all done using a fork gather dough into a big ball, remembering to be gentle as you can, the more you mess, the tougher it gets, when you have it in one ball divide in to 2 balls, wrap eachbin plastic wrap

3) prepare your area to roll out dough, grab first one and start to roll out, when big enough for your pie plate (to measure for this invert pie plate upside down on top of flat crust if crust is at least 2" bigger you are good to go)

4) roll dough onto your rolling pin, then lift it over your pie plate and unroll over dish, adjust the pie dough so it fits fine in pie plate

5) If you are using a filling, now is when to fill pie, then if it needs to have a second crust for the top repeat steps above, crimp edges good, and make some cuts in the top crust for vents to let steam escape,

6) If you are needing to bake pie shell by itself, then first take and fill the piie plate with dried beans to prevent pie crust from rising on you, or poke with a fork all over the bottom allowing room for air to escape and crust will bake flat that way

7) Preheat oven to 400^ F or 200^C, bake pie shell for about 8-14 min, For a filled pie its always best to follow the baking instructions for it

8) Tips. Never put this pie dough in the refrigerator, always use ice cold water, never reroll out your dough it makes it tuff( better to have a not so pretty crust than a tuff one), The less time you spend handling this dough the better it tastes, If you substitute out any ingredient it will not have as good of results

Flaky Pie Dough Flaky Pie Dough
This is a great recipe to make multiple pies from. You can get creative and either use a while top crust or cut strips to make a lattice top crust. You can also roll out and cut shapes with cookie cutters or shape cutters to bake on top crust for decorations. A common top crust decoration is cherry cutouts or leaf cutouts. This adds a beautiful touch to your pies.

Make this flaky pastry before prepping your filling. If you choose to skip the refrigeration step, use a little more flour on your work surface to avoid sticking.

A Baker's Pie Crust A Baker's Pie Crust
The pie crust recipe in a cookbook I had was too sticky and hard to work, so I adapted it using a crispy biscuit recipe that I had. I used 300 g of medium-strength or all-purpose flour this time. I tried various ratios of flours, but this recipe worked well with all cake flour or 100 g of bread flour + 200 g of cake flour too. I love how this pie stays crispy even the next day. There's no need to fold the crust, plus you only need one bowl.The cream cheese and butter blend better if you work them with your hands, but they do melt with your body temperature. If you use a fork, they blend better with the flour and your hands don't get messy. If you knead it or the cream cheese and butter melt while you're making the crust, the layers won't form properly, so it's best to chill the cream cheese and butter very well beforehand, and to make a crumbly crust quickly. Chilled ingredients will result in the nicest crust when baked. This recipe yields around 8 to 10 mini-pies about the size of your palm, or one double pie crust. If you only need the bottom crust for a pie, use half the listed amounts. Recipe by Koharumama

Flaky and Beautiful All-Purpose Kneaded Pie Crust Flaky and Beautiful All-Purpose Kneaded Pie Crust
I used a dough cutter to cut the butter into the flour when I made this, I wanted concentrate on making this.Be careful not to let the butter melt while cutting it into the dough with a dough cutter. As long as you add chilled water and take care not to knead the dough, there's nothing to it. I recommend salted butter. Strong flour gives scones or pies a flaky finish. Recipe by Shioaji -
