This pie crust was one of the first things I learned to make. I put it in my first handmade cookbook and I still use this recipe today. The key to a great pie crust is to use butter not shortening (I don’t even know what it is) I like the natural stuff. And ice cold water! Yes, you have to use ice cold water. I usually make a few of these and then freeze them to have it handy. I use this pie crust for pies and also for my Quiches.

I mean BLOG_TITLE is a little boring. You could peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they write news headlines to grab people to open the links. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it could make your blog a little livelier.
