Personal Notes:
This is Gram's favorite pie crust recipe and I've never had a better one in my life. Shortening makes all the difference -- Puddy used to tell Judy to "make it short, hon". Use this for coconut pie (bake the crust, then fill, add meringue and bake) or pecan pie - fill the uncooked shell with the filling and bake.
