Pie Crust

3 c. flour
1 1/3 c. shortening
2 T. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt
1 c. ice cold water

Cut shortening into dry ingredients until mix resembles coarse crumbs. Add water water until dough just comes together. Separate into thirds. Roll out onto floured board. Gently roll crust onto rolling pin and into pie plate. Trim and flute edges. For pies requiring a pre-baked crust, Bake at 350 for approx. 15-20 minutes or until just lightly browned.

My friend Cindy taught me how to make pie crusts and this is the recipe I got from her. She is a fantastic cook so every recipe I get from her is a treasure!
