Pie crust
So I made a pie and normally I just use water in the crust but the last two times I used milk and what a difference! It came out flaky. I always thought it was the shortening or lard that made it flaky. I use margarine because I never buy lard.
So I mixed 1/2 cup (one 1/4 pound square of margarine)
to flour, I didn't measure but just kept mixing and adding flour until it was crumbly looking, not too fine May have used around 3-4 cups of flour.
A little salt and about a tablespoon sugar.
Then I poured in a little milk, mixed and then a bit more until I could work the dough with out it being sticky.
This made enough to make two 8-9 inch pies.
I made apple using gala apples, 4 apples sliced In a bowl I sprinkled sugar, cinnamon and a little flour and stirred it around so it all stuck to the apples then place it in the pie shell and cover with the top crust which was all rolled out right before I started on the apples.
Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top and poke holes in the top crust. I like to poke holes that will later be used as a guide as to where to cut each piece of pie.
Oven preheated at 350 F and bake 40-45 minutes.
