- How can I make a homemade pie crust

Sure thing! Here are four different ways to make a homemade pie crust:

**Classic Butter Pie Crust**: Just mix 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt. Cut in 1/2 cup of cold, unsalted butter until it looks like coarse crumbs. Then, add about 3-4 tablespoons of ice water until it comes together. Chill it for about 30 minutes before rolling it out!

**Easy Shortening Crust**: Combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of shortening in a bowl. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until crumbly. Add 6-8 tablespoons of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until it forms a dough. Roll it out and you’re good to go!

**No-Fail Food Processor Method**: Toss 1 1/4 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of cold butter, and a pinch of salt into a food processor. Pulse until it’s crumbly, then add ice water a tablespoon at a time until it forms a ball. Roll it out and you’re all set!
