Pie Crust

Try this great recipe from King Arthur Flour:

Pie Crust

2 cups AP flour

1 cup White Whole Wheat Flour

1 tsp salt

2 tsp sugar (optional)

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

1/2 cup cold butter (or margarine, I used all Crisco to make it dairy free)

6-9 Tbs cold water

In a large bowl whisk together dry ingredients. With a pastry blender or knives or finger, mix in shortening until it resembles cornmeal. Dice butter and cut in until pieces are the size of peas. Sprinkle with water- 2 Tbs at a time- and mix with a fork until it is just moist enough to hold together. Gather into a ball, cut in half and flatten int a disk. Wrap in plastic and let rest in fridge for 30 minutes before rolling out.

Yum. I am making a 1 1/2 recipe to have enough for a top an bottom for the apple and a bottom for the pumpkin. Enjoy baking!
