Favorite Pie Crust

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.

Coconut Syrup

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.
