This recipe is long overdue.  I’ve had a couple of people ask me to post this and I’m just getting around to it right now.  Sorry, friends!  Here goes:

Pie Crust (Theresa Glawe)
Recipe from: “Haack Heritage Cookbook”

Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1 cup shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon vinegar
3/4 cup water

Directions: Mix ingredients all together.  This is enough for 2 double pies.

**FYI…I always make a double batch of this recipe, divide it up, and freeze them.  When I am ready to use them, I just thaw out the crust in my fridge and roll it out like normal.  Such a time-saver!  That way I have EIGHT pie crusts sitting in my freezer pretty much ready to be used.

We have had visitors back-to-back for almost two months!  It was great, but I have fallen behind in the world of blogging.  So, I’m gonna start this week off on the right foot by posting what we will be eating this week.  I’m only going to link for recipes I’ve never linked to before as well.  Enjoy!
