regular pie crust recipe

[Guest guest]

Just thought I would share my failures/successes:

From " Dinners in the Freezer " by Jill Bond

Original recipe for Pie Crust/Pastry:

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

2/3 cup shortening

1/3 cup cold water (approx)

Yields enough pastry for 1 double crust.

1. Mix flour and salt.

2. Cut in shortening until mix has consistency of small peal. (Use forks or

a pastry knife.)

3. Add cold water a little at a time until mix is barely dampened. You

probably won't need the full amount mentioned above.

4. Roll out a ball onto a floured sheet, board or cloth.

I tried this with plain white rice flour - total disaster, too crumbly to

work with, yucky flavor.

I tried with gf flour mix. I put the ball directly in the pie pan, and

rolled it out. Added sweet potato pie filling and baked it. It turned out

good! Hubby and I couldn't even taste gf funk flavor.

If anybody else has a good regular pie crust recipe I'd love to try it.
