I stumbled upon this recipe with my son while watching Activity TV. It's easy enough for a kid to make and preparation involves no electricity. I was so glad to find this recipe because I don't keep shortening on hand (yet - I'm sure I'll look back one day and wonder how I ever did it).

SERVES 1 , 1 pie crust (change servings and units)

  1. 1
    TOOLS: Measuring cups, Measuring spoons, Bowl, Pastry Blender and Plastic wrap.

    Combine 1 1/8 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar in our processor bowl. Mix.
  3. 3
    Add 8 tablespoons of ice cold butter to the flour mixture.
  4. 4
    Using the pastry blender blend the mixture until the flour and butter looks like cornmeal.
