My mom swore by this recipe, she used the regular shortening recipe until they came out with this one which  mixed up much easier.  We usually used a pyrex pie dish.  Can easily be doubled. Good luck.

Crisco Oil Pie Crust (9" pie)

1 1/3 cup sifted flour
1/2 tsp salt
6 tablespoons crisco oil
2 tablespoons water

Preheat oven to 425 or to temperature given in filling recipe.

In a bowl mix flour & salt.  Add oil and water: stir with a fork until dough no longer sticks to the bowl.  Form into a flat circle.

Dampen work surface to keep waxed paper from slipping as you roll dough.  Between two squares of wax paper, roll out each circle of dough to a circle that touches the edges of the paper. Peel off top paper.  Pick up one circle of rolled dough with bottom paper and place paper side up in a 9" pien pan.  Peel off paper and ease into the pie pan.

Trim the dough 1/2 inch beyond the edge of the pie pan.  Fold under dough on the rim of the pie pan to form a double thickness; flute with fingers or fork.

1)-Pastry shell: with a fork prick the bottom and sides generously. Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes or until desired browness.  Cool and fill.

2)-With baked filling: Pour filling into pastry-lined pie pan and bake as directed in the filling recipe.

Original Message I have a question for all the GLP cooks out there.

Should we survive today's scheduled DOOM, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, along with all its' infinite possibilities of personal DOOM. My assigned contribution to the neighborhood festivities is to provide the pies (pumpkin and pecan).

I am REALLY nervous about the pecan pie. The filling is not a concern; I know how to "tweak" the standard recipe just enough so that EVERYONE will be clamoring for a slice of gooey, crunchy goodness. But the last time I made a pecan pie (thank Heaven it wasn't for Thanksgiving), the crust WELDED itself to the (glass) pie plate, providing us with pecan PUDDING.

Does anyone have a suggestion which would keep this from happening again?

Hey, I figure the "GLP Effect" works on National/International/InterGalactic doom, so why not apply it to my piecrust?!

Please take a moment to post an answer, I thank you in advance!
