TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + chilling YIELD: 2 (9-inch crusts).
Even novice bakers who normally shy away from homemade pie pastry can't go wrong with this recipe. It's so easy to roll out and produces a tender, flaky crust every time.—Ruth Gritter, Grand Rapids, Michigan

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup shortening
  • 1/3 cup milk
