Aunt Jill’s Pie Crust
x
Print Options
Description
This is a great old pie crust recipe handed down to my aunt from her mother-in-law. It’s flaky and cooks up beautifully! It can be frozen and re-worked after thawing.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lard
- 5 cups Flour
- ¼ teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vinegar
- 1 cup Ice Cold Water
Preparation
Freeze the lard for 15 minutes or so before making. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in lard until mix resembles coarse meal. Beat egg with a fork and add vinegar and enough cold water to make 1 cup. Add egg mixture and stir until mixed thoroughly and you can form a ball. Divide into 5 even portions and wrap tightly. Refrigerate before working the dough.

Charlie…sorry I didn’t see this before Thanksgiving! I have never tried to substitute Crisco, but I do believe it would work just fine! Let me know if you already gave it a shot and how it turned out.

Good Morning…………
My G’ma and mom always used vinegar in their pie crust and so do I. It always turns out nice and boy does it freeze great and re-rolling is so easy. I have given my recipe to so many people. My mom put hers in the Grange cookbook when I was a kid and I’ve put mine in our church cookbook.
Thanks for putting your here…………
