makes three 2 crust pies
Ingredients:
2 Cups Shortening (I use butter)
5 cups Flour
1 Egg
1 Tsp Salt
Scant Cup of Milk
Directions:
Combine Shortening and flour until cornmeal consistency.
Break egg in a 1 cup measure. Beat egg slightly with a fork.
Add salt.
Add enough milk to make one cup and mix with fork to
dissolve salt.
Slowly add the liquid mixture to the flour/shortening
mixture.
Mix gently with fork until fully incorporated/
Form into a ball and let rest for 1/2 an hour.
Divide into six sections and roll for the pie.
Notes:
This crust freezes well if you only make one or two pies.
If I was to freeze I would putting in pie shells, right?
ReplyDeleteAnnette, No, just divide the mass of dough into six pieces (a top and bottom for three pies), form into a ball, and seal up in an airtight ziplock bag. Thaw and then roll when you want a great pie!
