sd-slider 0 #1 August 22, 2006 Saw a few cats making videos of making pies and such and I need a good crust recipe. Any family secrets to that "Oh my insert_personal_savior_here, this crust is fabulous!" type of crust(s). I have a new toy that needs breakin' in this season and would love to hear what some-uv-yuz have. . .Anvil Brother #69 Sidelined with a 5mm C5-C6 herniated disk...

1snowangel 0 #8 August 22, 2006 Not to give myself too much credit, but I make the best pie crust. The absolute secret to making awesome crust is to not overwork it, if it gets mixed too much it becomes tough.. For a double crust= Cut 2/3 cup lard into 2 cups of flour and 1 tsp salt Once this is combined and crumbly (about like small peas) Use cold water to finish the process, adding a tablespoon at a time (takes about 6 - 8 Tbsp) I pull a little pile of the "crumbles" away from the rest, blend a Tbsp of the water into it, push it aside and pull another little pile of crumbles out, add water....yada yada til it is all moistened...but DON't mix it too much. PM me if you want more detailed explanation of what I mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't use Lard but a basic shortening crust (I recommend the butter flavored shortening though) I could look up the recipe and send it to you... its not very complex...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

lisamariewillbe 1 #13 August 22, 2006 Lard is multi-purpose, fried chicken is best when fried in lard (then dip in vinager YUMMY) just replace butter with the lard in most recipies...Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 622 #22 August 22, 2006 while risking my guy card also...I grew up in the kitchen with mom....garage with dad...so I make my own pie crusts while rebuilding motors in hot rod restoration projects.... the crust recipe here is the best you can get! I use Crisco instead of lard...and the key to the flakyness is the use of two butter knives to makes the "crumbles" I like 'em bb sized and about two tablespoons less water.... then the hard part is the hour you spend over the stove hand stirring the chocolate filling so as to not let it lump up! I have 3 sisters...all 3 request my pies at every family get together...and mom does too!!! and fuck you guys....I've EARNED my guy card so I'm keepin the effin thing!
