    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. 🙏💓💓💓💓

    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?

      lard makes amazing pie crusts.

    • @carolables2968
      @carolables2968 Před 5 měsíci +1

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

    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.

    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.

    Good video I made chicken pot pie yesterday and my pie crust was a little thick plus the filling was also on the dry side bummers I think had I made the crust a little thinner it would not of suck up my combo cream of chicken soup + 1 can of chicken stock. . I will try again but here is a the total recipe for mock Marie Calendar pot pie 2 pie crusts. 1 can cream of chicken soup. + 1 can of of chicken stock 1 package of Mix veggie + 1/2 cup of pearl onions or 1/2 cup of grilled onions. 1to 2 cups of cubed cooked chicken breasts. 1 9in glass pie pan. add seasonings to taste black pepper, Salt? or use NO-Salt , Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 min or until top crust is light golden brown. Once again me thinks a thinner crust would of made for a better pie :)
