HOMEMADE PIE CRUST
1. Place the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the shortening and cut with
a pastry blender, or use your hands.
2. Add the water, a tablespoon at a time, kneading until the dough is smooth.
3. Roll out the dough to fit a 9inch pie pan.

Tried: 08/16/98 - The dough was extremely easy and flaky. Added Cremini mushr
ooms. I didn't have Brandy so I used Cognac. For seasonings I used Sage, Rosem
ary, Seasoned pepper and salt. Used Jarlsberg Cheese instead of the Swiss che
ese.
Was wonderful and will be good at room temperature too. Could use for a buffet
.
