This homemade pie crust recipe makes two 9-inch pie crusts and can be used for any pie, quiche, pastry or anything else you can think of.

Pie pastry dough is made completely with shortening. Make sure to mix ingredients as quickly as possible and that all ingredients are very cold.

For a slightly sweeter pastry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of white sugar to the flour.

For a no-bake pie, bake pie crust at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes.
