Homemade Pie Crusts

Happy Thanksgiving! :)
Around the holidays, I am always shocked by how many people buy their pie crusts.. It is so simple to make homemade ones! My recipe is NOT healthy.. at all.. When I was five years old I was put in charge of making the family pie crust around Christmas and Thanksgiving and I am still doing it to this day.



Same recipe I used when I was five years old.


You need..

2 cups flour
1 Teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening 
4 tablespoons water
large bowl
knife 


Mix salt and flour together.


Add in shortening. 


Add in 4 tablespoons of water and mix it up.


Separate into 2 balls.

One batch will work for a bottom and top of a pie. So if you are making a pumpkin pie or Nestle Toll House pie, you can freeze the other ball and be prepared for the next time you make a pie! :)



A little embarrassed of this simple post, but hopefully it will help out somebody. :)
