What better start to the recipe blog with none other than the pie crust recipe... the foundation for many of mom's recipes. If memory serves me correctly, this recipe originated with mom's mom, Mary.
Pie Crust
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup shortening
1 egg
Milk to suit
Place 1 egg in a measuring cup. Beat slightly and fill to ½ mark with milk.
Combine flour, salt & baking powder in a bowl. Work shortening into the dry ingredients, then add milk/egg mixture.
Place in fridge to set.
Yields top and bottom crust for a pie.
(*Note – Coarse salt and the Crisco stick that comes in the new 3 pack makes for an even flakier crust. We discovered that at Christmastime when I made mom's chicken pie. Recipe to come soon.)
