I will admit I haven’t made this in a while as I just haven’t had the time. There was a time that this was the only pie crust I’d use though. I plan to try my hand at it again soon when I make some Fried Apple Pies.

Pie crusts are always something fun that the kids can help with too. My littles love to get the scraps or ‘extras’ that I cut off the sides. They make their own little pies or designs with them. It’s edible play dough!

Whipped Pie Crust

Ingredients:

• 3/4 c. shortening

• 1 T. milk

Directions:

Put the shortening in a mixing bowl.

Add the hot water and milk.

Tilt the bowl and beat until it is creamy and holds a soft peak.

Sift the flour and salt together. Add the mixture.

Mix well, just until it forms a soft dough.

Roll out.
