I was always looking for a pie crust that I could do. I tried Martha’s, and many typical/traditional crust recipes and techniques. This is the ONE. I’ve used it for several years and I love it! It always works!
Yield: 2 large pie crusts
ingredients:
4 cups flour
2 cups shortening (I like the butter flavor)
1 Tbsp sugar
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup COLD water
1 egg
1 Tbsp vinegar
directions:
1. Mix flour, shortening, sugar, and salt altogether in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add cold water, vinegar, and egg to dry ingredients. Mix to combine.
3. Bake per your pie instruction.

This recipe is divine. I first enjoyed it at a girls weekend up in Winter Park. It is now a family favorite and rare delicacy (I seldom make it)--but when I do, the fam goes bananas! Thanks Lori for the great recipe!

ingredients:
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk (don't substitute)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp coconut flavoring
directions:
1. In small/medium pot, melt together butter, sugar, buttermilk, and baking soda. Bring to a boil
2. Remove from heat and add coconut flavoring.
3. Let sit 30 minutes. It will be foamy at first.
Serve over pancakes, crepes, waffles, etc.
