You could just go to the store and buy one, but the home made ones taste so much better. There are
a few things to remember regarding this recipe. When I measure the 7 TBSP of crisco, it somehow works better when I do
the 1/2 cup and take out one tablespoon (8 tbsp = 1/2 cup). Second, don't overknead. It just doesn't work.
The third, is use the coldest water you can find. Fourth, when you roll your dough, if it isn't perfectly round,
don't worry about it. Put it in the pie plate anyway. Take a knife and do your edges. What is left over from that, just patch it!
