My Favorite Pie Crust image

This is my Mother's pie crust - hands down-the best! I have not included the baking directions because it depends upon the filling you decide to use.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup flour
1 dash salt
1/4 lb margarine (1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon water, icy cold

Steps:

  • Set out the solid margarine stick for a while on the kitchen counter to soften it.
  • Mix flour, salt,and margarine with one hand in small bowl-1 1/2 quart size. You do not want the mixture to get too warm. Use your other hand to hold bowl or use 2 knives which is what I do.
  • Mix until you have pea-sized pebbles.
  • Chill for 30 minutes (or freeze and later defrost and continue with remaining directions).
  • Remove bowl from refrigerator; add 1 tablespoon of icy cold water. Add more if you need to.
  • Mix with one hand until mixture sticks together in a ball. Use other hand only to hold the bowl.
  • Put additional flour onto counter and rolling pin.
  • Roll dough into a circle for your pie.
