PERFECT PIE CRUST RECIPE for ONE CRUST and TWO CRUST PIES! ❤

[@dragosisters8548]

As with EVERYTHING you do, this tutorial is absolutely, hands down...the BEST!!! I just can't thank you enough for all of your amazing recipes. My family has come very excited when it comes to Rachel Cooks with Love night; we have them often and we have never had anything that wasn't just out of this world. I know you work hard doing all of these Tutorials but please know that you have and continue to help so many people! Thanks again

My grandmother’s recipe was nearly identical to this one. She put her shortening, usually lard, in one tablespoon at a time then used the pastry cutter. When it was time for the ice water, she also did that a tablespoon at a time and continued to use the cutter until all the water was in then switched to a fork. For the holidays, I may need 15 or so crusts. Around the beginning of November, I measure out all the ingredients and put flour, salt, and shortening in a small Zip-lock bag, one bag for each crust. It then goes into the freezer. When it’s time to make pies, I remove the crusts and finish them in the food processor adding the ice water through the chute. Back into the bag and the fridge until I’m ready to roll it out. My grandmother believed the less your warm hands cam in contact with the crust, the flakier and more tender it would be. What would we have done without our grandmothers?

[@MargaretCutt-um8iq]

lard makes amazing pie crusts.

[@carolables2968]

You are correct. My grandmother always used lard. It is definitely a cut above Crisco​@@MargaretCutt-um8iq

[@elsiebaxter8094]

So, you use lard INSTEAD of shortening? Ty

[@Hummingbirds2023]

This is how my Grandmother always made hers, she never bought real butter only Oleo, (margarine). But always used Crisco Shortening for her pie dough and frying her Chicken. My Grandmother was a young wife during the depression so she did things the old way which I admired, she ALWAYS used canned milk in her coffee too. She bought milk in cartons, but never broke the habit of canned milk use. Oh how I loved her. She was an angel on earth all her life. Her name was Irene. 🙏💓💓💓💓

[@carolineedwards4709]

It's good to see pastry made by hand the old-fashioned way.🌺

[@barbaratrubenbach115]

I 'm going to make your pie crusts.I see what I did wrong. That trick with the measuring cup for the Crisco, I have always done that with honey but never Crisco. Thank you for the wonderful tips. When I watch you, you take me back to being with my Grandmother who taught me the love of baking, canning. She died when I was 10, but she gave me so many of her basic ways of cooking. Thank you for everything.

[@sheilahtaylor3005]

Thank you Rachel, good recipe and GREAT tip on oiling the cup b4 adding Crisco 👏🏿

[@cindiarmington1626]

I'm glad to know this too. So EZ

[@sandrastitt527]

I agree

[@skgillman29]

I use this hack for anything sticky or hard to remove, such as peanut butter, honey, and Crisco/lard 😊

[@loenearbuckle6604]

Rachel, you are such a joy! You LOVE what you do and it is fun to learn from you. Keep inspiring us. We have lost the art of home cooking !

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Yes, I love what I do my friend, thank you so much for your sweet words, I appreciate your support of my channel. ❤️

[@loenearbuckle6604]

Do you have a biscuit recipe?

[@debk5325]

[@sandrastitt527]

Apple pies in an air fryer ? Really ?😊cool

[@nanettemacy9376]

My grandma always used shortening and had a very flaky crust most people use butter. It's not the same. Thanks for the recipe. I'm sure her's was probably the same. Im going to use this recipe. Love your recipes

[@mariannesouza8326]

Yeah, I tried using all butter 🧈 recently, but I didn’t get the flakiness I get with shortening. 🥧 As they say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” 😀

[@lindacoleman4191]

Ok I was about to ask if I could substitute the shortening lol

[@elgenacovington4753]

I will use this

[@luciagonzalez4899]

I cant get enough of your awesome recipes, Rachel!!

[@Yo-fm6fj]

Genius idea for getting the shortening out. Im so addicted to your videos. Your recipes are so much like my grandmas. And very similar to my own by watching others. Because of you, I'm back to making homemade tortillas.

[@suziescrapbook3574]

Can’t wait to try this.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

[@ladydi4051]

[@franceshilton2525]

The best pie crust

[@dondooley4946]

Love your pie dough recipe

[@donnabolton1870]

Your videos are so easy to follow! Thank you so much for sharing your baking /cooking expertise. Very much appreciated.

[@terryKessler42719]

My mother never wanted to really share her recipe for her pie crusts. And I must admit she made outstanding pie crusts. My daughter makes her pie crusts from the recipe on the label of the Crisco can. I’ve been known to use the recipe on the Crisco can also. But I’ve also been known to buy already made pie crusts. Tomorrow I’m going to make your recipe for pie crusts. I want to be known for my outstanding pie crusts. I’ll edit this comment after I make my pie crusts in the morning.

[@curtislambert8752]

May you and your Ron have just splendid rest of your week dear amiga. Bet you're busy getting ready for the ride down to Texas. Hopefully it won't seem too stressful for you on the road.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

I love to cook and make all sorts of food and treats, but of all the dishes I make, I make terrible, tough pastry. Not sure what I do wrong. I am going to try your method and tips. I love that you cook with love! I do too!

[@johnking2031]

Hi Rachel, I love your channel. I'm a Chef and I still learn many things from your videos. I just wanted to share with you a tip I saw on another channel, when making 2 pie crusts divide them into 2/3 and 1/3 that way you have a bigger piece for the bottom and smaller for the top because you need a bigger piece for the bottom because the sides angle out. Keep up the good work.

[@localsotano2448]

GREAT tip!!! THANK YOU!

[@MaryEllenNunez]

Hi Rosie, well, my granddaughter comes by and says, "No pies, nana." Good thing I love cooking and baking. Sometimes, it's great, another day totally different, but good eat. I like the way the flour and shortening feel after combining them together. Great tip about a little oil to measuring cup. Thank you for all of your recipes you've shared. Have a blessed, Happy Thanksgiving day. 🦃
