Pie Crusts from scratch

[MICKIMINI]

Not popular, however if you want it to taste like it did when you were a kid, use lard. A baker who supplied a local New Hampshire country store told me years ago that his donuts were fried in lard. Everyone marveled at the great taste...just sayin'.

I've never been able to make a good pie crust using Crisco ever since they removed the trans fats. Lard is best, butter is my second choice but it tends to brown too much if I'm blind baking the shell.

I stopped using Crisco years ago, just too unhealthy, I used this now https://www.spectrumorganics.com/product/organic-all-vegetable-shortening/
