How to Make Grossmummy's Pie Crusts Mmmmmmm

  1. Whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
  2. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  5. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Carefully transfer the dough to your pie pan.
  7. Freeze the unbaked pie crust for 30 minutes (optional, helps prevent shrinkage during baking).
  8. Thaw the frozen crust for 10-20 minutes at room temperature before baking.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
