Steps:
- To make the dough for the pie crust, mix 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon each salt and sugar in a medium-size bowl. Cut 2 sticks chilled unsalted butter into pieces. With a pastry blender, cut in butter, working until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add 4 tablespoons ice water; work with hands until dough comes together. If dough is still crumbly, add more ice water a tablespoon at a time (up to 4 more tablespoons). Do not overwork.
- Divide dough in half, and flatten halves into disks. Wrap disks separately in plastic; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- To form the pie shell, roll the dough on a floured surface into a 14-inch round. Wrap around rolling pin and carefully unroll over a 9-inch pie plate.
- Fit gently into bottom and side of plate. Use kitchen shears to trim dough to a 1-inch overhang; fold under, and seal to form a rim.
- Crimp rim with fingertips and knuckle. Repeat with remaining dough; wrap each with plastic, stack, and freeze.

OUR FAVORITE PIE CRUST RECIPE-HOW TO MAKE A TENDER PIE CRUST
From the King Arthur Flour recipe: "We figure we can't repeat too often our formula for the flakiest, most tender pie crust - so here it is. The instructions are thorough, and the method can apply to your own favorite crust recipe. The method you use to put pie pastry together will, to some degree, determine the type of crust you end up with. Our latest favorite pie crust recipe uses a combination of butter (for flavor) and lard or vegetable shortening (for flakiness); an unbleached flour of about 10.5% protein (such as our Mellow Pastry Blend); buttermilk powder (for tenderness) and baking powder (for extra flakiness); salt; and vinegar (again, for tenderness) and water. Here's the formula for a single-crust pie; just follow the directions above."

Steps:
- For a flaky, tender crust (as opposed to one that's harder, mealy, and more cookie-like), the following works well.
- Whisk together all of the dry ingredients, reserving a few tablespoons of the flour.
- Cut in half of the fat, working the mixture until it's mealy and crumbly.
- Place the reserved flour on your work surface, and coat the remaining fat with the flour.
- Use a rolling pin or the heel of your hand to flatten the fat till it's about 1/2-inch thick.
- Break this flour-coated fat into 1-inch pieces, and mix it into the dough, just till it's evenly distributed; some of the pieces of flour-coated fat should break into smaller pieces.
- Sprinkle the liquid(s) over the dough while tossing with a fork.
- Just as soon as the dough becomes cohesive (i.e., you can squeeze it into a ball easily), stop mixing; there should still be visible pieces of fat in the dough.
- Flatten the dough into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap or waxed paper.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer; this resting period allows the flour to absorb the water, making the dough easier to roll out.
- Flour your work surface and roll the dough into a 12 x 9-inch (approximately) rectangle.
- (If it isn't holding together well, sprinkle it lightly with a couple of teaspoons of water.
- Fold the dough into thirds (like a letter), then fold it into thirds the opposite way, to form a rough square. Wrap it well and refrigerate again.).
- When you're "ready to roll," remove the dough from the fridge.
- If the dough is made with all lard and/or vegetable shortening, you'll be able to work with it directly from the refrigerator.
- A dough made with all butter will need to warm slightly (10 to 15 minutes) before rolling, as butter becomes brittle when it's refrigerated.
- Dough made with a combination of butter and shortening should rest for about 5 minutes at room temperature before rolling.
- Roll the dough to the size needed (about 13 inches for a 9-inch pie).
- Fill and bake as directed in your recipe.
- Note: in this particular recipe, cut all of the lard or vegetable shortening into the flour, then coat the butter with flour before adding it to the dough.

Steps:
- Blend flour, sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter; using on/off turns, process until coarse meal forms. Add 8 tablespoons ice water and cider vinegar; blend until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough together. Turn dough out onto work surface; divide dough in half. Form each half into ball and flatten into disk. Wrap disks separately in plastic; refrigerate at least 1 hour. (Can be made ahead. Keep dough refrigerated up to 2 days, or enclose in resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 1 month, then thaw in refrigerator overnight. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
SUPER EASY TENDER PIE CRUST
This recipe was originally from _Good Housekeeping's Party Pie Book_, 1958 (which I own). It is important to only use vegetable shortening with this recipe and not butter or margarine. It is also important to use just enough water to make the dough stick together. However, this is a very very easy crust to make. After 25 years of struggling to make a decent pie crust, I found this recipe and have yet to mess it up. I think I would have to deliberately do something to mess it up. My kids never used to eat the crusts of my pot pies and other pies. Now they do. By the way, please note that I am not the best at making my pie crusts look pretty, as evidenced by the picture.

Steps:
- Measure flour and salt into the sifter and sift into mixing bowl.
- Cut shortening into flour with a pastry cutter (pastry blender) or two knives until it resembles coarse meal.
- Sprinkle water, 1 T at a time, over different parts of the mixture while tossing with a fork until all the particles are just sticky enough to stick enough to hold together when pressed and to form a dough that clings to the fork.
- USE ONLY ENOUGH WATER TO MAKE THE PARTICLES CLING TOGETHER - they should not be wet or slippery. Amount of water needed will vary.
- Form the pastry into smooth ball between cupped hands. Roll out at once. (If it is a very warm day, you wrap the pastry in waxed paper or foil and refrigerate up to 1/2 hour and then roll out.)

- Add cold diced butter and pulse the mixture until coarse crumbs form with some pea-sized pieces then stop mixing. Mixture should remain dry and powdery.
- Add 7 Tbsp ice water and pulse just until moist clumps or small balls form. Press a piece of dough between your finger tips and if the dough sticks together, you have added enough water. If not, add more water a teaspoon full at a time. Be careful not to add too much water or the dough will be sticky and difficult to roll out.
- Transfer dough to a clean work surface, and gather dough together into a ball (it should not be smooth and DO NOT knead the dough). Divide dough in half and flatten to form 2 disks. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour before using in recipes that call for pie crust.
