Peanut Butter Pie Crust
1/3 cup chilled shortening
2 tablespoons chilled peanut butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
Cut the shortening and peanut butter into the flour using a food processor
fitted with a plastic dough blade. Gradually add the ice water, mixing until
the dough forms a ball. Form into a disk, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
for about 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove dough from fridge and roll out on a
lightly floured surface until pastry circle is about 10 inches in diameter.
Gently lay pastry into a 9-inch pie pan. Prick crust gently all over with a
fork, line with aluminum foil, and fill partially with pie weights or dried
beans.
Bake about 5 minutes, then remove pie weights and foil. Bake another 5 minutes,
or until crust is lightly browned. Remove from heat, allow to cool completely,
and fill with pie filling of your choice.
Makes 1 (9-inch) pie crust.
