Instructions:
-
In a large bowl, combine the vegetable shortening, soy margarine, and boiling water. Mix until creamy and well incorporated.
-
This step may require a couple of minutes, so be patient and ensure the mixture is thoroughly combined.
-
Add the baking powder, salt, and all-purpose flour to the bowl with the creamy mixture.
-
Mix until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead it for approximately two minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
-
Wrap the dough in wax paper, ensuring it is tightly sealed, and chill it in the refrigerator for a minimum of three hours. You can also refrigerate it for up to 24 hours for enhanced flavor development.
-
After chilling, the dough is ready to be used. It can yield either two separate crusts or one crust with a lattice design on top, depending on your preference.
-
Use the crust to create your favorite pie or tart recipe, and enjoy the homemade goodness with friends and family!
Tips:
- For a flakier crust, ensure the vegetable shortening and soy margarine are cold before mixing.
- If desired, you can add a teaspoon of sugar to the dough for a slightly sweeter flavor.
- To save time, prepare the dough in advance and store it in the freezer for up to three months. Simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before use.
Serving Suggestions:
- This versatile pie crust pairs perfectly with a variety of fillings, such as fruit pies, custards, or savory quiches.
- Serve slices of your favorite pie topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of dairy-free ice cream for a decadent treat.
