Baked Pie Crust

This recipe is easy and delicious. You'll never buy a pre-made pie crust again once you try this one. It's my mom's recipe and I'm proud to say, it rocks.

9" One Crust Pie
1 c. flour
1/3 c plus 1 tbsp. Parkay soft margarine*
½ tsp. salt
2 – 3 tbsp cold water

Combine flour and salt. Cut in margarine with fork until mixture resembles cornmeal. Add cold water 1 tbsp. at a time until mixture clings together. Roll out pastry on wax paper and fit into pie tin. Prick bottom and sides with fork. Bake at 475 for 8 – 10 minutes. Let cool before adding filling.

*(I admit, contrary to my mother's advice I have used generic brands here and the results seem to be okay so far.)
