How to Make Simple Double Pie Crust
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
- Trim and crimp the edges. Add your favorite pie filling.
- Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
