Microwave Pie Crust
1 1/2 cups King Arthur unbleached all purpose flour
6 Tablespoons shortening, cold
3 Tablespoon margarine, cold
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 Tablespoon ice water, more or less if needed
flour to roll dough on
Stir 1 1/2 cups flour and salt together. Add margarine and shortening. Using a fork or pastry blender, work the shortening and margarine into the dry ingredients until it resembles little peas. Add 1 Tablespoon water at a time to the mixture, mixing with a fork until a ball is formed when pressed together. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and roll in a circle that is 1/8"thick and large enough to hang over sides of 9" microwavable pie plate. Put in pie plate and trim, leaving a 1/2" overhang. Fold overhang under and crimp with fingers to form edge. Cook in microwave at 50% for 1100 watt microwave, for 2 minutes. Check and cook another 2 minutes, 1 minute at the time. Moisture should be gone from the crust yet not hard. Do not overcook.

1 cup Karo syrup
3 Tablespoons margarine, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
