Simply Simple MAKE AHEAD PIE DOUGH by Connie Stewart

Pie dough is SUCH a pain to make but let me show you how to make it once and have (9) double crusts ready in your freezer whenever you need it.

What I love most about this recipe is that there is virtually no measuring!

5 lb. bag all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons salt
3 lb. tub of Crisco (butter flavored, if available)
3 cups ice cold water
4 drops of yellow food coloring (makes your pies look prettier!)

Mix the flour and salt together. Add all the Crisco and cut in with a pastry blender. When it's all mixed, add the food coloring to the ice water and pour in ALL AT ONCE. Mix with your hands and separate into (9) 1 lb. pie dough. Flatten slightly and wrap in saran wrap. Place in freezer bags and freeze for up to 6 months.

Thaw when ready to use.
