Pie crust

Never Fail Pie crust!

1 c. shortening (I like to use Butter Flavored Crisco)

2 c. flour

1 t salt

1 T vinegar (I like Apple Cider vinegar)

 1/3 c. milk

Combine flour and salt, then cut in shortening. Add vinegar to milk then combine at once with flour mixture. Knead gently adding flour if necessary. Divide into two balls and roll out into desired size for pie.  You can also use real butter, but make sure to keep it chilled until ready to use, then put your dough in the fridge to re-chill if it becomes too soft.

My Experience with this...
I have tried many different recipes of pie crust and so far this one is the Bestest!
It is so Delicious, and flakey.  My brother even likes it!! You know it is good when your brother likes it!  My mom did NOT like pie until I started making strawberry rhubarb pie!!

I started making pies because my grandpa LOVES rhubarb.  Three years ago when we bought our farm, my family and I were looking at our beautiful flowers and not so beautiful weeds when my grandpa pointed and said, "It's rhubarb! Look, you've got rhubarb! Where is my pie, Biscuit?!?!?!"  Uh-Oh!  I don't know HOW to make pie, YET.....  Sooooo..., I looked up recipes on  cooks.com  to make Strawberry Rhubarb pie, and how to make a pie crust. 

I entered my pie into a fair last year (September of 2010) it won 3rd place!
I harvest as much as possible without hurting the plant by cutting stalks carefully all around the plant so that more stalks will shoot up during the spring and summer!
It's so easy... even my brother could do it!
