Instructions
 

  • With a spatula mix the flour, HTB, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
  • Add the shortening (or butter/shortening mixture) and cut it in with the pastry blender. Blend until it forms tiny dry balls and crumbs (not greasy).
  • Add 1/3 cup plus one tablespoon of ice water.
  • Cut with the spatula until fully moistened. It should stick together when pressed; if not add a smidgen more water until it does.
  • Press with your hands until it adheres, then form into two pieces, flatten, and refrigerate in non-toxic wrap from one to three hours if using immediately. (It can last several days in the fridge or six months in the freezer.)
  • Bring back to room temp and roll out on a floured board, flattening with the rolling pin and shaping into circles about 4 inches larger than the pans. Work from the center out without smashing the edges, smoothing in opposite directions.
  • Keep the board floured enough so the dough doesn’t stick. If it splits, seal it with your fingers, using water and flour for patching.
  • Invert the pie pan over the center of the dough to estimate size, then transfer to pan, gently forming the bottom before the sides.
  • Patch any holes and trim the edges with scissors, crimping a 3/4″ overhang with a fork.
  • Wrap and refrigerate dough for 3 hours to a day and heat bottom crust in oven for 5 minutes before filling/baking. Bake time varies with different fillings from 25-50 minutes. With longer bakes cover the pie crust edges for the first 30 minutes to avoid a burn. Baste crusts with melted vegan butter diluted with water and date sugar/pumpkin spices for desserts.
