It had my name on it. Well, sort of…
Then this happened. 
I love whipped cream! That was the last bit of our Thanksgiving leftovers.
I made my pie crust with 1/2 butter and 1/2 lard. It was the best pie crust I’ve ever made. It wasn’t soggy (like mine usually is) and had the perfect amount of flakiness. How do you make your pie crust?

I am terrible at pie crust. I made pumpkin pie in a tart shell this year and it disappeared fast. I think I’ve just gotten myself out of making pie crusts for the future. Now to figure out how to do my favorite, mince pie, without the crust…

Without my pie crust making machine (food processor), I would give up on pie crusts. Can you just put the mince pie mixture in a greases pie plate without a crust? This idea is from someone who does not like, eat nor make mince pies. 😳

I’ve done all butter and while it was good the bottom was soggy. My mother’s recipe uses shortening and milk with a tbsp of vinegar. It ends up a little soggy but has excellent flavor. I think I’ll experiment in the new year with your half butter half lard:) Thanks for sharing!

I had no idea that changing the fat would make such a difference. But it does!

I make my crust in the frozen section of the grocery store. Lol

I am a shortening & butter gal, too! The cold butter keeps it short. Nothing wrong with a little pie with your whipped cream! 😅

I make pie crust by buying that little box that costs like 75 cents because anything else just doesn’t work round here. Also? Whipped cream is the best thing ever invented. Seriously
