PIE DOUGH MIX

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories : Pies

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons Salt
5 pounds flour
3 pounds Crisco

Cut the flour and salt into the Crisco. Place in sealed container. May be kept in refrigerator, freezer, or left out.

When ready to make a pie:

9 inch double crust = 2 cups mix plus 1/4 cup water. Mix and roll out on floured surface. Do not work flour into dough.

9 inch single crust = 1 cup mix plus 2 tablespoons water. Mix as above.

I use a cloth to roll the dough out on and have a cloth sleeve for my rolling pin.

If the dough seems too moist when you mix the water in, that’s okay. Just flour the outside of the dough and use quite a bit of flour on the cloth but don’t work the flour into the dough. That will make it tough!
