This is my grandma's recipe. She was known for her pies. This crust is so light and flaky. Just delicious! My change to this recipe is my rolling technique. I roll between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Grandma rolled on a floured board. But it works for me!

How To Make grandma's flaky double pie crust

  • 1
    Mix flour, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender (or 2 knives), cut in the Crisco, until pea size pieces form.

    Add egg, lemon juice, and water, one tablespoon at a time. Toss with a fork until dough will form a ball. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • 3
    Divide dough in half, and form two, 5 inch discs. Roll a disc between 2 sheets of lightly floured parchment paper, to desired size.
  • 4
    Carefully place rolled dough into a 9" pie plate. Fill with fruit filling, and top with remaining rolled dough.
  • 5
    Trim, fold, and crimp edges. Cut a few vents in the top of the pie. Bake at 425 degrees, for 40 to 50 minutes.
