Directions
Single Pie Crust
Step 1:
Place flour blend, sugar and salt in a food processor. Process for 10 seconds. Add cubed shortening and pulse until combined. With motor running add cold water and vinegar. Process until dough comes together.
Step 2:
Wrap dough in plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes.
Step 3:
Roll dough from centre outward with steady pressure between 2 pieces or parchment paper into a circle 2” (5 cm) wider than 9” (23 cm) pie plate. Carefully remove top piece of parchment paper. Don’t worry if some dough sticks to the paper, simply peel it off. Using parchment paper prevents the crust from crumbling.
Step 4:
Invert dough on the parchment paper into the pie plate. Keep parchment paper on to press dough into pie plate. Gently remove. Patch any tears. Flute dough.
