Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and Crisco, mixing with your fingers until it resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center and add cold water.
Bring the flour mixture to the center gently with the water, mixing until just combined without overmixing. Form into a flat disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Remove the dough from plastic wrap and place on a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/4" thick, ensuring it's large enough for the pie plate.
Transfer the rolled dough to a 9" pie plate, cutting any excess leaving a 1/2" overhang. Tuck the edges under and crimp for a decorative edge.

Notes

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing results.
You can customize the spices according to your taste preferences.
If you prefer a sweet crust, consider adding a little sugar to the dough.
