Hi Jenny,

I’ve made this pie crust with Costco/Kirkland brand butter as well as Challenge and Kerry Gold. If I’m completely honest, once the pies are filled with their filling, I couldn’t tell a difference. Maybe a more discerning taste bud could discern the difference.

What brand of butter to you use and/or recommend?
Thank you!

HI Nancy,

I remember my Grandma making this pie dough, pre-food processor days. Seems she worked in the butter with a handheld pastry cutter or blender. Is that what you use?

Hi Lynn,
I’ve made many quiche/pie crusts in the past, but do you have any ideas on how to make this crust if you don’t have a food processor? (I know most people do ; )
Just want to see what your ideas are compared to what I do now.
Thanks for always giving us so much content in so many different fields of creativity.
Take care,
Nancy

Hi Miriam,

You are so right. Grandma didn’t have the benefit of Pastry Flour. As I mentioned, I made this recipe for years using AP Flour. It was only recently that I branched out to use Pastry Flour…bringing Grandma’s recipe to the 21st century!

Have a great day and happy baking.

I am a bit confused. You say this is your grandmothers recipe but during those days you couldn’t purchase pastry flour, let alone even find it since they had one type of flour for everything.

Aw, we are so very lucky, aren’t we!? But, I didn’t grow up on a farm…would’ve loved that!

I’m glad you were prompted to revisit those happy memories! And wishing you many more.

Hugs, Lynn

I truly enjoyed reading your story about your Grandmother and Mother’s love of baking. I was blessed to grow up with the same situation on our farm and your story brought back so many happy moments and memories. Thank you for sharing not only these homespun recipes but the story behind them. And, as my Pennsylvania born Grandma used to say,” Bless your hear5!”
