I grew up in a family where my grandmother made several pies a week ( generally cherry) for my grandfather for 60+ years, so I should know something about pie crusts right? Wrong! I know how to make grandma’s version and up until I was in my teens/early twenties I thought hers was the only and the best to be had, but boy was I mistaken. There are millions of variations of flour and fat to get the same end result. And if the end result is light, flakey, and flavorful…then you have hit the jackpot. So how do you choose a recipe?!?!
I have a sack of flour, butter, vegetable shortening, oil, lard, and my food processor. I am determined to find which recipe I enjoy and what others also prefer. I hope the gals at work are up for some pie eating!
Hopefully I return from this journey with a good recipe and my same waist size! Results to follow …
Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by my little kitchen!
