had fun helping demonstrate how to make pie crust at Relief Society last Tues-Kathy and I had fun

The recipe for my favorite pie crust comes from Kathleen she taught it to me 26 years ago
1 cup crisco, 5 Tablespoons "boiling hot water" this is key 3/4 tsp salt 2 Cups flour 3/4 tsp sugar
add the water to the sugar, salt and shortning--whip vigoriously with a fork until the water is incorporated into the shortning it will be fluffy and resemble creamy frosting (but won't melt the shortning)  then add in the flour , pat into two balls and roll out each ball between geneously floured wax paper --- yummy and flakey and full of uses, (fruit pies, cream pies, chicken pot pies,  children like the pie crusts with cinnimon sugar sprinkled on small pieces and baked-enjoy
