How to Prepare a pie crust from scratch

In this video, we learn how to prepare a pie crust from scratch. This only takes 15 minutes and will taste great. First, cut your softened butter into slices and then combine shortening with your butter and flour. Don't let the butter melt or overwork the mixture. This will effect how your pie crust comes out in a negative way. Once you have a consistent crumb mixture, then you will add in 3-5 tbsp of ice water. Now, you will mix this together until it becomes a dough and immediately form it into a pie crust shape. Place it into a pie pan to keep the shape and then place it into the fridge overnight for the best results!
