I made an apple pie today. My grandmother’s pie crust recipe has been in the family for years. It was in an old ledger book that she had written her recipes in. She had 2 recipes for pie crust. This is my favorite. Going to hand down the recipe to my daughter, then she can give it to her daughter.

My grandmother’s pie crust recipe.

SHE ADDED CREAM OF TARTAR…

she said that was her secret ingredient…

3 cups flour

1/4 tsp. cream of tarter

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups crisco

4 to 8 tablespoons very cold water add one well beaten egg and 1 tablespoon vinegar to the water.

She said the most important thing is to keep everything cold including flour, also to do everything by hand.

    Any chance to get to see those handwritten books? I freaking admire old recipes. Hard to find nowadays.

    I don’t bake but just wanted to say it’s cool of you to share. So many people don’t share recipes. Me and my wife think that’s stupid. We share. Why not. Anyways that’s nice of you.
