Pie Crust (Non-Soggy)

Recipe #302664 | 10 min | 10 min prep | 1 pie crust (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Chef #570804 Halifax Liz

I use this for all one crust pies, e.g. pumpkin, pecan, etc. It stays crisp on the bottom. You must use butter because margarine does not work well and gives a rubbery crust. I think it came out of a Gourmet magazine many years ago. Should be chilled at least 2 hrs. after mixing.
