I'm sorry, I don't have a recipe to share. I just mix in the ingredients until it's the right consistency. I can tell you that you will need to practice. If it doesn't come out right the first time, don't give up. Nothing beats good homemade crust. :D
Start out with one-crust pies until you get used to handling and rolling out the dough. I always keep my flour in the freezer so it's good and cold when I add the shortening. I only use Crisco for pies. I prefer shortening rather than butter, but I think that's just a matter of taste. Whether you use Crisco or butter, be sure they are very, very cold before you add them to the flour. When you are ready to put the crust in a pie dish, roll it onto your rolling pin and then unroll it onto your pie dish. Lift up gently on the overlapping edges of the crust as you work it into the dish.
When you feel comfortable making a one-crust pie try a two-crust pie, but be sure not to overfill the crust. If you add too much fruit filling, it will run all over your oven when it bakes, and cause way more smoke than you want to deal with. :shock:
You can probably guess how I know this. :oops:
I think it's great that you want to learn to make your own crust. I've been making pies for over 40 years and I still love making them.
Have fun and good luck. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
