Simple Homemade Pie Crust Recipe with Crisco/Piecrust Recipe with Lard or Shortening (easy handmade)

[@dawnwilson4060]

Thank you! Out of all of the "how to" pie crust videos, I keep coming back to yours!

[@MoneySmartFamily]

Thanks Dawn, what sweet words!

[@darielbaylor6790]

I guess I am kind of off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released tv shows online ?

[@jessestetson1228]

@Dariel Baylor I watch on flixzone. You can find it on google =)

[@jarrodporter361]

Very easy to follow. Reminds me of how a neighbor taught me how to make pie crust when I was younger, except for the addition of the egg, vinegar, and rolling on wax paper. I'm working to sharpen my pie skills and have seen a few videos with varying techniques. Why didn't you refrigerate the crust before baking? I've seen some videos calling for it. But your technique is the way I learned when I made my first crust. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

[@charbella6288]

I just found your recipe and I just finished making it. I don’t plan on baking my sweet potato pies until tomorrow. I can’t wait. Thank you for sharing your family recipe.

[@connieshagena2184]

This is the recipe that my great grandmother handed down to me. It is wonderful!!!

[@MoneySmartFamily]

Thanks for sharing! that's so cool that your great-grandmother used the same recipe!

[@davestelling]

I have a background in the culinary arts, yet I haven't made pie dough in over 30 years. I'm about to refresh my skills, here. Merry Christmas, thanks!

[@MoneySmartFamily]

Hope you enjoy your holidays!

[@Pooky-usf]

Thank you❤

[@Carpenterdane]

Definitely going to try this!

[@MoneySmartFamily]

It's not light or flaky, but very dependable!

Such a nice recipe! Respect& love!

[@MoneySmartFamily]

Thanks for the kind words and for taking time to comment.

[@vickimiller9347]

How much flour? I need the recipe written out on here.

[@freewill1114]

I just made pie crust, and I had an awful time. I wish I had watched this video first, because it pointed out several things I did wrong, including using just two cups of flour, and not working it in the bowl long enough. I did use the wax paper method, which probably saved my crust from being a total fiasco. I am going to save this video, and try again soon. Thank you for posting this; I will report again after I try again.

Looks delicious.

Thank you!

[@alicepatterson9610]

How long do you bake the crust before you add filling?

[@MoneySmartFamily]

Oh boy, did I leave that part out? If it's a one crust pie, bake your bottom crust for around 10 minutes, til lightly browned. Make sure you put pie weights on the bottom. (they are a string of metal beads) - We use ones similar to these that are on Amazon: amzn.to/3fcuryt

[@beverlyfitzgerald7675]

@moneysmartfamily What about adding vodka instead of vinegar

[@minervavillanuevahernandez8188]

Does look real easy to make an i have never ever made my owm crust but have been saying i am i am lol. I do have a quik question again remembering i hsve never made my own crust... Question is or maybe this is a combo question with comment... The dough looked dry when u were forming it into that ball.. Am i rite that maybe another drop of that Cold water would have made it more manageable to roll? Please reply if possible. Oh an was it Lard or Shortening that u used? Is it ok to make it with Real Lard like i already have or even regular shortening or Oil instead of Crisco( if thats what u did use?) Thank u for sharing an I will let u know if i made it when i do. Hoping to make a pie for Xmas which again i have never ever made a homemade pie etc.

[@MoneySmartFamily]

You can certainly play around with this recipe. lard, shortening, crisco, margarine, or even butter could work. And adding a little more water is fine. Get it to the consistency you like, then roll out. If it sticks to the pin too much, sprinkle with flour.

[@patdyer5038]

Don't know if you remember a brand of shortening in a red can called "Spry" ! Very old recipe was for their "Fool Proof Pie Crust" which my mom made and I still make: 2-1/4 Cups Flour plus 1 Teaspoon of Salt mixed together in a bowl, 1 Tablespoon Milk added to 1/4 Cup Boiling Water, 3/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoons of Shortening. DIRECTIONS: Using a pastry blender (I use something old that is called a "Thing A Ma Jig" looks like a wide spatula with slots in it and was very popular in the 50s and 60s) put shortening in a bowl and add the boiling water/milk mixture and whip rapidly until all is incorporated and the shortening looks creamy. Add the dry ingredients of flour and salt mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix all of it together, first with a pastry blender and then use your hands to get dough into a nice ball. Makes a 2-crusted pie. Divide the dough into 2 pieces making 1 slightly smaller than the other (Larger ball for bottom crust / Smaller ball for top crust. Smash them down a little so that they are disk shaped, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or so. Roll out as shown in the above video except use parchment paper instead. The parchment paper is larger so there is no overlapping of sheets and the dough does not get veiny from the wax paper. Ta Da - That's It ! I love the MoneySmartFamily video since it is so nice to see someone else making pie crusts other than myself and it so relaxing. I loved the nice way the dough is crimped -- mine never looked as nice as theirs -- I have to work on the technique !

How does it taste?

What temp to bake pie crust

[@emullinsstreams]

Can this be blind-baked and used for quiche? This looks so much less fussy than any other crust I've seen, and as a mom with a toddler...this makes me excited to try it!

[@MoneySmartFamily]

I have never heard the term blind baked. If you mean make a quiche without precooking the crust, then yes you can.

[@emullinsstreams]

@@MoneySmartFamily I mean pre-cooked! Sorry, I've heard it called blind-baking, par-baking, and pre-cooking. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@F_U23]

@@emullinsstreams Yes, it can. I filled with parchment and pie weight for 10 minutes. Took the parchment and weights out, cooked it empty for 8 minutes. Then filled it with quiche filling. It was fabulous.

[@dcwatashi]

@@F_U23 what temperature

[@dcwatashi]

@@emullinsstreams you are correct it is called blind baking

[@Catnyipiao]

May I know where to find the recipe?

[@silentluna13]

Just started baking pies recently and I came across your channel. Is it okay to use a regular vinegar?

[@MoneySmartFamily]

white or apple cider vinegar are fine.

[@silentluna13]

@@MoneySmartFamily thank you very much !

[@patdyer5038]

Confusing - At one point the instructor says that they are using lard and then the next part they are adding the shortening -- which one was used ? Looks like shortening to me.

[@chancebronson9375]

thankyou for your video I just have 2 small issues I think you overworked the dough a bit that makes it tough. Also you should chill the dough for at least a half hour before rolling out.

[@MoneySmartFamily]

Chance, thanks for your input both of your ideas are really helpful.

[@cherrytop9616]

Is this leaf lard or just regular lard? Also what if I have super hot hands? 😱

[@MoneySmartFamily]

This is regular lard. If you have hot hands, maybe you could have a larger bowl of ice water to dip your hands in to cool them off.

[@sweetea7035]

I also have such hot hands I have to be so careful and not handle it much.

[@StephenHolst]

In Step 5, about how long were you working the dough until it came together like that? It looks like you cut out some of the video to jump to the point where it looked good. I'm curious because other recipes warn you about over working it. Thanks

[@MoneySmartFamily]

This pie crust recipe does fine no matter how much you roll it out. So you don't have to worry about overworking it. It's not a very flaky crust, but it is delicious.

[@dcwatashi]

Most people chill the lard before putting it into the flour. And the majority of people also put the dough in the refrigerator first before rolling it out

[@MoneySmartFamily]

Hmmm. We've never done that, but can see the value in it. Thanks for sharing.

[@dcwatashi]

@@MoneySmartFamily actually I remember watching another video or two or five ha ha and they will put the butter or lard in the freezer and then use a grater to break it up into the flour

[@maryloufremlin4152]

Very Nice 👍🏽🌹

[@MoneySmartFamily]

Thanks Marylou!

[@nofilter2001]

👍

[@MoneySmartFamily]

It's not flaky, but it's dependable. Crushed nuts added make it even better.

[@ginabolin7213]

what cooking temp??

[@MoneySmartFamily]

Oh dear, did I forget this? Temperature is standard 350*.

[@sandrastitt527]

No one ever lets us see how the crust comes out after it is baked. So we can see how crispy it is

[@MoneySmartFamily]

that's a good idea - we should do that. Thanks for the tip.

First one

[@MoneySmartFamily]

Hooray!

[@mickberry9991]

I made this crust and I DID follow the recipe to the letter. It tasted like SHIT! I will never use this recipe again. The crust was hard and just flat out terrible.

[@MoneySmartFamily]

So sorry to hear this. It is not a flaky pie crust recipe. It tastes great with chopped nuts mixed into the crust.

[@Grifiki]

"So? This is assuming it's a 'Fruit Pie;' you're making. Why???

[@glenntaylor1506]

Awful recipe. Way too much flour.

[@MoneySmartFamily]

Glenn, every one is entitled to their own opinions. This is definitely not a flaky crust, we know that. It usually makes 3 crusts when rolled thinly. And if you add crushed nuts to it, it is really yummy!

[@wendybeyerripley2555]

MoneySmartFamily I don’t usually comment, but you got a troll right there.. haters gonna hate.. 🙌 beautiful crust.. thanks for putting the work into it!
