Crisco’s Single Crust is a straightforward pastry for a 9-inch pie, made with just flour, salt, Crisco, and water. The instructions walk through cutting in the shortening, adding the water a little at a time, rolling and shaping the dough, and even give directions for baking the crust with or without a filling. It’s a good basic pastry to have in the cookbook whenever a pie calls for a single crust.
