Pie Crust

"This is a must around the holiday season! You make one "Mix" and use it to create some of the most tender, flaky pie crusts you'll ever eat. It is easy, and saves you lots of valuable preparation time. Use this mix if making more than one pie crust."

directions

  • "Flakey Pie Crust Mix".
  • Add all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and cut in the shortening until it is crumbly. Pour mix into two 1 gallon size zip-lock bags and store in the refrigerator until you need to use it. It should stay good in the fridge for up to one month.
  • "Pie Crust"
  • Place the "Flaky Pie Crust" mix into a mixing bowl. Add the beaten egg and ice water and vinegar together, and then using a pastry cutter, mix the dough together. Once the dough has been mixed together, remove from the bowl and work it with your hands to form a nice soft ball of pie crust dough. Roll out and shape into pie crust.

  1. Since I'm planning on making a handful of pies by the last week of November, I decided to cut this recipe in half as a trial run, then immediately made one crust for a simple apple pie! Gotta tell you, it beats what I've been doing all these years, & it'll be a lot easier when I get ready to make several pies at once! Thank you for a great recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a Junior High School teacher who loves to try new recipes and cook for large crowds! I am always looking for fun recipes to spice up my dinner table. I have been married for 13 years this December, have three beautiful children, and my best friend is a recipezaar groupie!!!! She is one of the most wonderful people I know, with the biggest heart and she helped me get onto this website and into this great group. For fun, I like to work outside, sew, exercise, watch movies and play with my kids. My husband and I like to go "Antique Shopping". I guess I am what you would call an "old soul." I love old and aged decor. I have a passion for music and play the piano. I love the musical "The Phantom of the Opera" and think that Gerard Butler is fab! Some pet peeves I have is when people don't say "thank you" when someone has helped them. I can't stand people who feel entitled to things just because of who they are! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
