BAKED ONE-CRUST PIE SHELL

cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening

cup lard

cup all-purpose flour

teaspoon salt

tablespoons cold water (2 to 3 tablespoons)

if desired. Immediately refrigerate any remaining pie.

BAKED ONE-CRUST PIE SHELL:

Heat oven to 475º. Cut shortening into flour and salt until particles are

size of small peas. Sprinkle in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing

with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of

bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons water can be added if necessary).

Gather pastry into a ball; shape into flattened round on lightly floured

cloth-covered board. Roll pastry 2 inches larger than inverted pie plate.

Fold pastry into fourths and place in pie plate with point in center;

unfold. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold

and roll pastry under even with pie plate; flute. Prick bottom and side

thoroughly with fork to prevent puffing while baking. Bake 8 to 10 minutes

NOTES : Key Lime Pie hails from the Florida Keys, which is the only place

where the special yellow Key limes will grow. But you don't have

to go to Florida to pick your own limes; regular lemons and limes

will also make a delicious pie. Sweetened condensed milk is the

key" to the wonderful creamy texture of this nationwide favorite.
