Directions:
For single crust mix flour and salt. Cut in Crisco. Sprinkle water 1 Tbsp at a time and mix until dough is formed. Test dough by placing a marble sized amount in hand; you want it to hold together firmly. Chill at least 2 hours, up to 2 days. If you make a double crust, fill with desired filling and freeze. To bake from frozen thaw pie 15 minutes. Poke holes in top; glaze with milk then sugar. Bake 20 minutes in 400 - 425º oven; then bake 35-40 minutes at 350º.
