This recipe yields a tender, flaky pie crust every time. Flour, shortening, hot water, cornstarch, vinegar, and milk will help you do the trick. The dry ingredients are stirred into the liquid ingredients and the dough is rolled between sheets of waxed paper. This recipe yields two double crusts.

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.
