I like to make pie crusts and I just happen to have a very good recipe that makes 2-3 crusts. And I thought I would share it with all of you. And I thought I'd do a tutorial while giving you the recipe. This is not a family recipe. I found the recipe on Food.net.
These are the ingredients:
3 C. flour
1 t. salt
1 C. crisco shortening
1 egg yoke save the white for a meringue
1 T. vinegar
5 T. water
4 sheets wax paper
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and crisco. Cut crisco into the flour with a pastry blender

2. In a small dish, add yoke, vinegar and water; blend well with a fork. Add liquid to flour mixture and blend well with a fork until dough is thoroughly incorporated then use your hands to work it
together to form a ball. Divide the dough in half to make 2 balls. Place one ball between 2 sheets of waxed paper and roll it out with a rolling pin; rolling it a little larger than the size of the pie pan. Remove the top piece of waxed paper and then gently flip over the dough onto the pie pan.
YUM YUM!! |
The coconut pie was delish!! Happy Birthday B.!!
This sounds very much like my favorite recipe called Nathan's Never Fail Pie Crust but I think it makes six single crusts.
ReplyDeleteThe pie looks wonderful.
