Pie crust recipe from Michele

I got this recipe from my grandmother, who said she got it from an "old Croatian woman."

this recipe makes 1 double-crusted pie, so if you only need the bottom part you half the quantities, obviously.

1 cup shortening or margarine
1/2 cup water
1 pinch salt (1/2 tsp to 1 tsp)
3 cups all-purpose flour

heat water and shortening or margarine over low heat in a saucepan until just melted (do not boil). Dump flour directly into the saucepan all at once and mix into the warm shortening mixture with a wooden spoon until all the flour is moistened. Spoon half of the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper, keeping the other half warm in the saucepan (you cannot work with this dough cold, so you need to keep it warm). Palm the lump on the wax paper into a patty and roll with a rolling pin between two sheets of wax paper (i.e., place a second sheet on top of the dough).

when it's rolled out, you peel off the top sheet, then turn over the dough onto a pie tin and peel off the bottom sheet. If the dough breaks, you can simply press the broken-off pieces back onto the rest of the dough, and you can keep molding it and shaping it as long as it is warm. If it gets too cool to work with, you can heat it back up in the saucepan and start over.

What was the other recipe you wanted -- the zucchini tarte, right? i need to scan it so I will send it later.

Bon appetit !
