Answers:
Let me answer the easiest part first!.!.!.!.
You can put whatever you like in the pie crust!. (That was so easy!.)
Ok!.!.!.here we go with the pastry crust!.
2 cups flour, all purpose
1/2 cup shortening, such as Crisco
glass of ice cold water
1/2 tsp salt
Place flour and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine well!. Add shortening using a pastry cutter or a fork and mash together untill it looks like small peas!. Add water one tsp at a time until the dough comes together!. Comes together means it is a big ball!. Place the dough in a plastic bag or wrap in some plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for thirty mins!. or till ready to use!. When ready, sprinkle some flour on a counter or your kitchen table and the rolling pin, with a little extra to the side just in case!. Roll the dough out to the desired thickness!.
The key to great pie dough is numerous!. Here are a few!.!.!.
-Ice cold water is a must!. It creates "flakiness" with the fat since grease and water don't mix!.
-Let the dough rest in the fridge after mixing!. I could explain this, but it would take up too much time, so just do it!.
-Do not handle the dough too much!. Once again,just do it!.
Enjoy and happy cooking!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Pie crust is flour (either pastry flour or unbleached flour), salt, a fat of some kind and a little bit of water to hold it together!. The key to good pie crust is minimal handling -especially after you add the water!. Otherwise the dough becomes stiff!.
