Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, salt, and Crisco with your fingers until the texture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center and add the cold water.
Gently mix the sides of the flour mixture with the water until fully combined and moistened. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
After resting, place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a circle about 1/4" thick and large enough to overhang your pie plate by 1/2".
Transfer the rolled dough to a 9" pie plate, cut off the excess, tuck under the edges for a smooth finish, and crimp the edge decoratively.

Notes

Chill the dough for best results before rolling it out.
Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg for an extra spice kick.
Make sure to use cold water to ensure a flaky crust.
