Basic Pie Crust

Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shortening
• 5 -7 tablespoons ice water
• 1 egg

Recipe

• 1 fill up a small dish with ice and water. put it in the fridge and let it get really cold.
• 2 blend flour and salt in a medium sized mixing bowl.
• 3 cut the shortening into the flour mixture using two chilled butter knives. i stick two clean butter knives in the freezer while i'm measuring out the flour. then i just slice at the chunk of shortening crosswise until the lumps are the size of peas.
• 4 holding a fork in your dominate hand, add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, fluffing the dough with your fork to evenly moisten the dough. the amount of water you need varies depending on the humidity. i usually stop adding water once the dough starts to clump up around the fork. you want the dough to stick together relatively easily, but you don't want it to be so wet that it's hard to work with.
• 5 stick your hands in the bowl and give your dough just three or four hard squeezes to get it to stick all together, then divide the dough into two chunks.
• 6 wrap the chunks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least half an hour.
• 7 to roll out your pie crusts, wipe down your counter with a damp sponge, then slap a piece of wax paper down on the still damp counter top. this will make the wax paper stick in place.

• 10 then just lift up the wax paper and flip your pie crust into your pie dish.
• 11 paint the inside of your pie crust with an egg to waterproof it before pouring in your filling.
• 12 roll out your second crust and put it on top of your pie.

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• chopped nuts, if desired

• 2 fill the bottom of your sink or a large bowl with ice cubes.
• 3 put everything else (except nuts) into a heavy 3 qt pan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• 4 stir frequently (almost constantly) for approximately 12 minutes until the candy thermometer reads 245 f.
• 5 (don't clip the candy thermometer to the side of the pan, just hold it in place to check every few minutes without allowing it to touch the bottom of the pan).
• 6 you will notice the syrup becoming thicker.
• 7 remove from heat and set the pan down on top of the ice to stop it from further cooking.

• 16 caramel may not set up if you make it on a humid day.
