Servings - 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup butter or margarine
- 4-5 Tbsp cold water
- 1 tsp cold vinegar
Instructions
- Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter or margarine with a pastry blender or two knives, until small, pea-sized balls have formed.
- In a cup, stir together the 5 tablespoon of cold water and the cold vinegar.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the cold water-vinegar at a time to the flour and butter mixture, tossing with a fork. Once the crust dough thickens, knead it gently.
- Form the dough into a ball and then place onto plastic wrap. Fold the plastic wrap around the dough and freeze for 10 minutes. Then place in the refrigerator until ready to roll out.
- Roll out on a cinnamon-floured surface. Fold into quarters to move it into the greased pie plate.
- Bake at 425 F for 7 to 8 minutes, then add the filling and follow baking directions from the recipe on the pumpkin can.
- Enjoy your pie!
