Here's the recipe I use and it has never failed me. Most people just can't believe it, but it works!
Water Whip Pie Crust
3/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup boiling water
1 TBS milk
2 cups flour (sifted)
1 tsp. salt
Put shortening in a bowl. Add boiling water and milk. Whip with a fork until a thick, smooth texture is formed and all liquid is absorbed. Sift flour and salt into mixture and stir quickly into a dough. Work lightly until smooth.
Roll out on a floured surface.
