Grandma Harding's famous pie crust

I LOVE my Grandma Harding's pies. I love her Cherry Pie. But I've never really had to make it- cause she has always made it. This year I pulled out the recipe and tried!! 

It was so yummy. and surprisingly easy. I think I just expected something that good to be so hard. with that being said, I know I could use practice on these things.

 Love thanksgiving and pie.

who doesn't?

4 cups of flour
1 1/3 cup shortening

mix dry ingredients
cut shorting into dry ingred. 

*use butter knives and criss cross them

slowly pour in ice cold water  and mix till pull away from side. keep cutting till firm ball

divide into 4 balls  and roll out. top dough circles thinner
fold into halves  with transferring so no rip.

tips-
