[@maryskinner1329]

in my first apartment our table was the coffee table which became my baking table after covering with wax paper. in the 70’s we didn’t have all the luxuries of today. Our luxury was our hands. no pie tastes better unless the crust is by hand. eons ago we made food with the love of our fingertips

[@malinibhattacharya9226]

​@@maryskinner1329So well said. Food really tastes better when been made with touches of love.

[@RanchoAyO]

When people refer so lovingly to food made in authentic Tuscan kitchens, it is not these huge commercial kitchens in McMansions, it is small kitchens in Tuscan farmhouses that may have needed water brought in from a well. On my grandparents farm, my grandmother made biscuits for the big farm breakfast so effortlessly by hand on the kitchen table. I still have that table, which I use as a desk, and love seeing the marks where she attached her meat grinder to grind her own beef. The best meals are those prepared with love, not fancy kitchens.

[@Nubianskin901]

You sound like me. My mom was a great baker especially with pie crust and she was a crisco lady herself and for yrs I've been trying to get like her baking and my mom is gone as well.

[@tazblink]

I still have my Mom but she had a bad stroke about 7 years ago and she just can't remember certain things, her awesome crisco pie crust is one of them. My wife is a wonderful cook but a poor baker "Her words" and I agree haha j/k. I am on a mission to make a great pie crust. I am not making anymore pies Intel I perfect a crust that lives up to my memory of my Moms crust. Our dogs will love tasting and judging the crust with my Wife and I. Anyway don't worry about that scumbag Husband instead go nail his friends I promise he will love that! Haha

[@BobRooney290]

same with my mom. it's all about hydration. i failed a few times because i did not add enough water. 2 tablespoons might not be enough. when i rolled the dough out, it started crackling and breaking apart. likely because i was using freshly milled flour.

[@debbiepowers4743]

I have the exact same story. My mom’s pie crust (crisco) was flaky and awesome but even though I used the exact recipe, I could never duplicate her success.

[@tierneyyoung9333]

Me too! My mom was the best pie maker. She was also a Crisco gal! Her crust was delicious. I could not make that pie crust. I bought so many gadgets to assist me in moving the dough to the pie pan! That ended up as a failure! Using butter rather than Crisco turned into the same failure for me. I decided to put away the gadgets and buy my pie at a grocery store when needed. After reading the comments, I think I am going to give it a shot!

[@Regg363]

What a jewel you are and your grandchildren realize this. There were so many of my favorite recipes of my grandmother and mother that I didn’t get. My mother was one of those that could see a dish and just know what the ingredients was. She did these elaborate wedding cakes, people would come to her instead of the local bakery. Thank you and your grandchildren for sharing this, I will be looking at your other recipes. Do you have a Turkey Dressing recipe and fried chicken.

[@mpm6760]

Thank you, Thank you! .....for over twenty years i tried to please my husband by cooking and baking the things he liked.The nicest comment he ever made was " its o.k." . The worst was " Im not eating this sh#t".My confidence erroded and now after almost 5 years of being seperated from him Im gonna try baking again. Im going to make butter tarts for my wonderful and kind son-in-law's birthday. It wasnt your recipe in particular that boosted my confidence it was you saying " its not perfectly round and its not going to be" and " we can fix that" when you patched in some dough on the lip of the crust.Youve got my back! And Im so glad you made this video................Now, after almost five years, Ive seen my husband with a number of women and it hurts that they are everything I couldnt be for him. But i' can be everything for me!! Bless you Nana

[@consumerdebtchitchat]

I'm trying it today because I'm sick of butter prices. Four sticks is running now $5 nearly at Walmart.

[@KFCalif]

I've never seen a pie crust made with oil instead of shortening or lard -- but you made this look so fast and easy -- I think I'll try it!

[@KFCalif]

I came here from Reddit, the other day, based on a prompt by Paige. Nana Gloria -- I'm so surprised at how my pie crust turned out! I am not a frequent pie baker, mostly because I have a tiny kitchen with poor counter space. I make quiche quite often, not so much fruit pie, and I always grab a crust from the freezer. But you said by the time you open that box of frozen pie crust you could make this simple version -- and -- you had one other trick. I detest using my ONLY counter to dust with flour, it's so messy, and my dining room table is quite nice, so that's not a good surface for me. Dusting and rolling out in flour is a pain in the butt -- but you used wax paper and it was so neat and tidy. So today for lunch I made a bean and beef savory pie, and I used your crust. It's very good! The texture of the crust is unique -- it's almost like a cross between flaky and a very fine crumbed shortbread cookie. I think next time I'll add garlic salt when making something savory. But -- you were right. The crust was the LEAST labor intensive part of this savory pie entree, and I'll make your crust again and not waste 2 seconds worrying about it! The big test is making a fruit pie, however, because I so detest a soggy bottom crust from liquid fruit juice. Perhaps blind bake that one first, and then rebake with the filling?

[@2244ntho66]

@@KFCalif Blind baking will 'toughen" up the crust so it won't get soggy. I, too, was surprised about the oil, I have never used, just shortening or butter. And alternating with vodka and water for the moisture. Wax paper will help in getting the crust into the pan, I don't know how anyone does it any other way! But working the dough too much and not prepping the crust per the recipe will always be a disappointment. Good luck!

[@sandrawilde6088]

That is the exact recipe I have used for many years.!

[@yasminenache]

@@KFCalif Beat one egg and brush on the bottom of the pie crust before adding the fruit filling and it will not get soggy.

I remember some things, but having the actual ingredients are key. Thank God for these smart grandchildren who decided to film these wonderful keepsake receipes.

I stood transfixed as her beautiful hands deftly mixed the flour, shortening and cold water. If sis was around at the same time we were both given the extra dough to turn into what we called " bumble bees" with cinnamon and sugar . A real treat!

I tried this crust for Thanksgiving this year and LET ME TELL YOU!! It was the definition of PERFECT! I am so grateful for this recipe, thanks so much for putting this up, nana 🙏🏼 ❤️

Great content Nana-as a 30 yo father who’s the primary cook in our household, the best instructions come from parents and grandparents who have years of experience cooking for their families, because there’s always a strong element of practicality. I want to feed my family well, but I can’t cook like a world class chef every night.

So you just took the complicated pie dough that I was afraid to make and made me Brave! as a matter of fact I feel like a superhero your video tutorial made it the easiest thing that I know how to make and it turned out great just like you said and thank you so much and God bless you Grandma you're pretty good at this you should start your own channel and have your own cooking show cuz the way you explained it is so down-to-earth and so relatable love you I'll be praying for you and your family PS if you had a blog or a channel to do videos or a podcast I would be one of your number one listeners

[@joannehiiro1111]

Hi Nana! Following now that I saw you on Reddit. Thank you for sharing. My daughter and I are looking forward to watching! We don't have an older generation in our family any more. Also, you look amazing!

[@magoopiam]

Made it as shown...turned out great...will be my go to pie crust from now on!

[@meganlidwell1096]

I am 28.. I have been using this crust for at least 13 years now. Thank you, Nana!

[@NanasCookery]

You are so welcome!

[@averysmith5932]

Oh my word, this video has been a life saver. I’ve been failing and failing at pie crust and then I found your video. SO easy! Turned out beautifully. You are the sweetest lady, thank you for sharing. Felt like I was learning from my own grandma. 🥰

[@tyronetaylor2866]

Thank you so much Nana! This is so much easier than the other recipes I've looked at.

[@tiger3608]

I love this! It is now my "go to" piecrust recipe. Thank you much.

[@lydiawilliams255]

I've always been amazed at famous cooks struggling to get the crust into the pie pan. Why don't they do it the easy way like you and I do. I have made delicious crusts using the same recipe for years. I love how relaxed you are in front of the camera. We need more down to earth cooking shows.

[@sweetea7035]

Agree! She is very relaxed in front of camera, and how she keeps reassuring us that not perfect is ok. I love this crust!

[@miriamhammond5363]

Thanks for sharing your grandma with us who don't have one or a mother in law that teach us how to cook deliciousness! Very nice I love the honesty of the cooking process!

[@jaysweet7316]

Your grands are right! You’re a natural. A STAR is born! Thank you for sharing. I did not know an oil could be used for making a pie crust! I like learning new things! You’re a great teacher.🙌🏽

[@CrashN2Me1000]

My search for the perfect pie crust ends here. Not only is it the easiest, but l just used it with my pecan pie, and it cooked beautifully, and it tastes much better than any other crust l've tried. Couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you so much!

[@arlynelauro9872]

CrashN2Me1000 is it flaky on the bottom?

[@CrashN2Me1000]

@@arlynelauro9872 Yes, Arlyne. lt's always flaky, yet it's not dry and crumbling all over the place.

[@martharoberts2546]

Love the production and Nana you’re a star

[@atxninva]

Your a natural in front of the camera Nana...definitely a success! What an incredibly easy recipe. Making sweet potato pies for Thanksgiving and I'm really looking forward to giving this a try. Thanks for posting and have a great holiday!

[@ldcharper8536]

[@peterdecicco9673]

[@Atlantas_finest]

I’ve made this recipe over and over and over and over and I will never use another!! Thank you so much for posting this years ago ❤

[@zzzengirl666]

Nana, Thank you soooooo much for this super easy pie crust recipe! I am a great cook, but a so-so pie crust maker. I made your crust tonight and it couldn't have been easier or better. I made a chocolate pie with it that was amazing. You are a Champion Nana Cook and deserve a huge award! I wish I was one of your grandkids. They are so lucky they are to have you. Yay for Nana!

[@globalance1948]

Thanks Dear Nana! I'm a 68 YO American ExPat widower raising two teenagers and pies are just not part of Thai culture....so I sought you out on KZbin! This is my second time here too. The first time was a huge deep dish apple pie in a 12' X 16" pan. It was such a hit (especially with me!) that I'm making another one for other ExPat friends!!! Many Blessings, Rollee Rolstone

[@Spider-Mouse]

Thank you for this recipe! Quick and easy. I used this pie crust recipe for a lemon meringue pie, and it turned out perfect, nice and flakey..

[@dianetendoeschate1699]

Thank you, bless you, and my family is rejoicing for Nana'a pie crust! Great sense of humor! 🎉

[@mrg4558]

I love you, I look at you every year around this time.you’re the best grandma😘✋🏾

[@NanasCookery]

Thanks. These lovely comments keep me going! Nana

[@brendaandrew682]

She is awesome.and looks amazing She's got my vote!

[@clientnumber09]

Thank you Nana! You made it look easy and it was easy. One thing I learned from this video was not to stress over the little things.:)

[@LaneMari]

I made this pie crust for a dutch apple pie this weekend and it was excellent. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@susanhenry6834]

Thank you, I was wondering if good for apple pie.

[@sally8712]

What's the oven temp for pie crust?

[@bansheetattoo5346]

I just discovered Nana’s Cookery and I made this pastry this morning for an open face apple galette. I mixed up the crust in a jiffy and it was so easy to roll out, didn’t have to fight with the dough like with other pastry recipes. It baked into a beautifully flaky & delicious crust. This is my new go to crust. No more fussing with cold butter or lard and getting frustrated with the dough tearing during rolling! Thanks, Nana!

[@NanasCookery]

Hi, Isn't it wonderful to try something new that really works?Thanks for watching and stay safe! Nana

[@stacey9003]

Gloria, I've used your pie crust recipe for 2 yrs and have had nothing but wonderful results and positive feedback. I love this easy recipe! Thanks for sharing and taking the mystery out of pie making.
