Trusty Pie Crust
You can trust that this recipe will be one of the best pie crusts you will ever make, even if it’s your first attempt at making a pie.
Ingredients
- 5½ cups Bisquick
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- 2¼ cups lard or vegetable shortening
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1 tsp vinegar
- cold water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine five and one-half cups of Bisquick and one tablespoon of sugar.
- Using a pastry blender, mix in two and one quarter cups of lard until the mixture is crumbly.
- In a one cup measuring cup, add one beaten egg and one teaspoon of vinegar. Fill the rest of the measuring cup with the cold water, and stir until combined.
- Fold in the wet ingredients a little at a time to the Bisquick mixture, being careful not to over mix.Do not add more Bisquick if the dough seems too wet. This is how it should be.
- Separate the dough into equal pieces, depending on desired thickness. I like my crust a little thicker, so I usually end up with four pie crusts.
- Roll out each piece and use as needed.
- Freeze any leftover dough.
