Pie Crust

Recipe #271472 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | SERVES 12 , 2 crusts (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Gabby Abby

This is a must around the holiday season! You make one "Mix" and use it to create some of the most tender, flaky pie crusts you'll ever eat. It is easy, and saves you lots of valuable preparation time. Use this mix if making more than one pie crust.

    pie crust

    Directions

    1. 1

      Add all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and cut in the shortening until it is crumbly. Pour mix into two 1 gallon size zip-lock bags and store in the refrigerator until you need to use it. It should stay good in the fridge for up to one month.
