Directions:Finely cut flour, butter, crisco and salt. Add water and stir only until flour is wet and somewhat smooth. Divide into 4 parts. Sprinkle flour on flat surface and roll each crust carefully. The less rolling and handling, the better. Place crust in pie plates.
Note: Cream Pies require a baked crust before adding filling. Bake Crust at 425º for 15-20 minutes.
If making a 2-crust pie, once the top crust is on, scallop edges. Sprinkle milk very lightly over top crust and then cover lightly with sugar. Bake at 350º for 75 minutes. |

Notes: The summers of my Junior and Senior years I was a server at the Titonka Café. One day the owner, Meno Fuls, asked if I would be able to bake pies. I agreed to do so. My Mother was nervous about the prospect of me taking on that responsibility, but it didn't phase me one bit! I had no doubt I could do it because after all, at one time my Aunts Ann and Ida owned that restaurant and that gave me all the confidence I needed. This was the trusty crust recipe I used. My Dad was my greatest supporter and used my baking as an excuse to bring in customers for pie.
