Flaky Pie Crust Recipe

1. 1

   Sift the flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium to large size bowl. Using a pastry blender, a big fork, or your fingers, cut in or pinch the shortening until the mixture resembles a bowl of sweet peas. Tossing the mixture quickly and lightly with a fork, sprinkle in the cream or milk 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue tossing until the dough holds together when lightly pressed.

2. 2

   With lightly floured hands, loosely gather up the dough into a flat ball, place it in a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until you are ready to roll out the crust, at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
