Does anyone make their own pie crust?

[Duncan]

If so can you give a fat guy the recipe?

Of course who doesn't, a store bought crust is just wrong hehe. My DW makes great looking lattice cherry pies, my fav of course.

You'll need to double it if you want a double crusted pie.

Fat Guy Pie?
Sounds like you need to create a recipe and claim it as your own.

Pie Crust (never fails me)
Ingredients:
(9 inch pie shell)
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
3-4 Tablespoons cold water

For a 9 inch two crust pie:
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
7-8 Tablespoons cold water

Directions: Put flour and salt in bowl mix together. Add shortening and cut it in with your fingers or knife till it resembles small particles. Add cold water 1 Tablespoon at a time and mix well together till it forms a ball. Divide (if double) and roll on floured surface.

Never trust a skinny cook is my motto!

I am just getting my recipes together for this summer when my fruit trees start producing. I will be back begging apple recipes I hope.

I've always used the crisco recipe. Hasn't failed me yet.

 

[FrenchHen]

Seriously, experiment with a filling and in the summer post us a recipe for Fat Guy Pie!

I am so craving a cherry pie right now...

Dang it!

I'm a pie maker myself. I'm with Katy, the crisco recipe is what I use. If you a making fruit pies, get creative and add sugar, cinnamon,or whatever to the crust when making it.

divide. roll out between two pieces of wax paper.
