My Favorite Pie Crust

1. 1

   Set out the solid margarine stick for a while on the kitchen counter to soften it.

2. 2

   Mix flour, salt,and margarine with one hand in small bowl-1 1/2 quart size. You do not want the mixture to get too warm. Use your other hand to hold bowl or use 2 knives which is what I do.

3. 3

   Mix until you have pea-sized pebbles.

4. 4

   Chill for 30 minutes (or freeze and later defrost and continue with remaining directions).

5. 5

   Remove bowl from refrigerator; add 1 tablespoon of icy cold water. Add more if you need to.

6. 6

   Mix with one hand until mixture sticks together in a ball. Use other hand only to hold the bowl.

7. 7

   Put additional flour onto counter and rolling pin.

8. 8

   Roll dough into a circle for your pie.
