Old recipe from mom for great flaky pie crust. Have recipe card in her handwriting and it says Southern Pastry, even though mom was born in Oregon. So, have no idea where it came from. Mom long gone, me 63 now but will say I still use this recipe. Also, I remember that sometimes she would use 7-up instead of ice water, but not very often.

SERVES 1 , 1 pie (change servings and units)

Yep, this is mom's pie crust recipe. Reliable and flaky, it stands back and lets the filling take the credit, but a pie's not a pie without a great crust. "Shortening" can be broadly defined to include Plugra butter in some cases. Worked great with Shaker pie. Thanks!
