Basic Vegan Pie Crust Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 3/4 cup solid vegetable shortening (not margarine!)

Preparation:

Combine the flour and salt. Take about 1/3 cup of the flour and mix it together with the cold water.

Cut the vegetable shortening into the remaining flour until crumbly. Add the flour and water and mix just until a dough is formed.

Roll onto a lightly floured surface to about a 1/4 inch thickness. Roll to a 1/8-inch thickness and gently press into a pie tin.
