Basic Easy Crust


Features of Basic Easy Crust

Served as dessert. Vegetarian dish.

Ingredients for Basic Easy Crust   (Click here for measurement conversion)

3 cups All-purpose Flour

1 teaspoon Salt

1/2 cup Margarine

1/2 cup Crisco

1 Egg

1 Tablespoon White Vinegar

3 - 4 Tablespoons Ice Water

Method for making Basic Easy Crust

In a medium-size bowl stir the flour and salt together. Cut in the shortenings using a pastry blender. Keep working the flour and shortenings until the mixture is rather grainy, like coarse cornmeal. In a small bowl mix the egg and vinegar together and, using a wooden fork, stir the mixture into the flour. Add enough ice water so that the dough barely holds together. Place on a marble pastry board or a plastic counter-top and knead for just a few turns, enough so the dough holds together and becomes rollable. If you have a marble rolling pin this will be easy. If you use a wooden one be sure to dust a teaspoon of flour on it a couple of times when you are rolling the dough.
