Hubs loves a pie so much that on our wedding day for the groom’s table, he requested a spread of pies in lieu of cake. Well beloved, it’s your table – you can have whatever you like.
Here’s a pie crust that’s super easy. It works great for pies, kiesh, or vegetable pot pies.
COMBINE:
- 3 cups white flour
- 1 1/4 cups shortening
- 1 teaspoon salt
COMBINE SEPARATELY AND ADD:
- 1 egg
- 5 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
Blend with a fork until well moistened. Makes 4 pie crust or 2 deep dish pie crust.
This crust keeps for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
One of you (or both) is a great photographer. Sometimes I get distracted from your blog posts because the you can make things look beautiful. Ryan and I both send our compliments to you. Your pics make me want to go cook your recipes immediately….or better yet, move in with you!
If your hubs likes pies, I thought you all might like to try this one. It is always a hit when I serve it and I think it is the tart and sweet combo with the salty/sweet crust. Not sure, but we can’t ever get enough of it when we have it. Love it with coffee for breakfast. Also, it is super easy because you don’t have to roll the crust. Just press it into the pan.
