My mother-in-law gave me this recipe. She always used lard and I found it easier to work with than vegetable shortening.

Flaky, flaky, flaky. Cold vegetable shortening and ice water do the trick to make this classic crust true to its name.

Very easy recipe from my Grandmother. Crust can be rolled out a second time if necessary and it won't get tough.

The dry ingredients are mixed together and cut into the shortening. The wet ingredients are mixed together and incorporated into the flour-shortening crumble. The pastry rolls out easily, bakes up perfectly, and makes three pastry shells.

Cut shortening into flour, stir in egg, water, and vinegar, and form into a ball. Wrap, chill -and when you 're ready -roll out into three perfect pie crusts.

Forget everything you 've heard about chilling your pie crust ingredients. This recipe uses boiling water and the pastry turns out flaky, manageable, and delicious. It yields two 9-inch crusts.

If you 've never made pastry dough in the food processor, you 're in for a treat. This recipe is foolproof and easy. Make sure all the ingredients are chilled, plop them into the processor, and that 's it. You 'll get flaky, manageable dough.

The very first thing I learned how to cook! This freezes beautifully; no well-equipped home is without a ball of pie dough in the freezer! Guaranteed to roll!

This is a simple recipe with only three ingredients: flour, canola oil and ice water. And if you want to make your pie crust adventure even simpler, put all the ingredients in the food processor and pulse a few times. Then simply roll the dough between wax paper and fit into a waiting pie pan.
