My Favorite Husband's A+ Pie Crust
SKU:
Four ingredients and one of them is water. And yes, Crisco.
Some very opinionated family members have decreed my husband's pie crust to be The Holiday Pie Crust, earning it the Asian Mom, cousin, and Aunty seal of approval.
PSA: Requires refrigeration overnight, and recipe is for one single (bottom) crust.

What To Do
Mix flour and salt in a medium bowl. Cut Crisco using a dinner fork until all the flour is blended in to form pea-sized chunks. Sprinkle with water 1 tablespoon at a time.
Toss lightly until the dough forms a ball. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate overnight.
On the next day, (i.e., pie-baking day), flour rolling surface and rolling pin lightly. Roll into a circle enough for a 9” pie plate. Lay out on the pie plate and pinch edges.
Bake the crust beforehand if your pie recipe requires it.
