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

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!

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

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.

This recipe will show you why old-fashioned cooks choose lard for their pastry. The pastry turns out super flaky and manageable to roll out. Along with the lard, there 's brown sugar, egg yolk, vinegar and baking powder. The resulting dough bakes up into a rich crust that will handle any filling beautifully.

Lard, baking powder, and vinegar combine with flour, water, and an egg to create the perfect dough for a tender, flaky pie crust. This easy recipe makes four roll-out-like-a-dream crusts.

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.
