How to Make Mom's Souper Easy Pie Pastry
- Whisk together 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl. Reserve 1 cup (125g) of flour.
- Cut 1 lb (454g) shortening into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup (240ml) orange juice concentrate (such as Tang) or freshly squeezed orange juice with 2 tablespoons of water.
- Gradually add the orange juice mixture to the flour and shortening mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (using the reserved flour, adding more if needed).
- Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Divide the dough in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
- Roll out each half of the dough to your desired thickness for a double crust pie.
