Double Pie Crust recipe 1/3 C Shortening or Lard 1/3 C Butter 2 C Flour Pinch of salt if using unsalted butter ~1/2 C ice cold water Freeze lard and butter ahead of time. Put flour and salt in a bowl. Grate the fats into the flour. Make a well in the center and add water. Gently combine, adding more water if dough still crumbles apart, but not too much where the dough sticks to your hands. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Makes 2 9-inch pan crusts.

Oh Heather, five years later, this is still a good recipe! Sending you lots of love from Arizona. You rock mama!

Every dinner I am making lately has been inspired by you!! Last night was homemade pizza using your recipe (and the dough was delicious!) Tonight is pot pies using this recipe. Thank you SO much for always sharing your wisdom with us. Praying for you and the children for a speedy physical healing. And praying God will continue to have his hand on all of you during this time.

As long as you have us Heather, who needs anything else? Love you, Mama, keep yourself and those babies and family healthy and happy.

It is good to back and see all your old videos. You are so down to earth and love to hear you laugh. I pray for you and your family a Godly recover. I know he is with you and yours. Your friend Carlene Barber

I have never made a pie, this may give me confidence to make a pie, Thanks! Healing prayers for you and your family 🙏🙏🌻🌻❤️

A year isn't so long to struggle to conquer a recipe.....it took me 50 years to make an edible loaf of bread. Like your videos...keep up the good work.

So glad I found this video. I can make wedding cakes, but I can’t make a pie crust. So many gals use a food processor to make them. I hate using that thing, seeing you actually using your hands was so helpful. I grate my butter when I make biscuits so I familiar with that. And I always use salted butter, your recipe is easy to remember. Now I totally want to make a pie crust! Thanks Heather!

Just wanted to share a tip I'm in Australia and its summer here atm with the temperatures to match, I dont have air con but have found mixing dough in a glass mixing bowl that has been put in the freezer for 5-10 minutes really does help in keeping dough cool while working it.

Continuing to watch your playlist.

Thank you so much for showing us the grater idea! That is so helpful!

Good to see you back never thought of grating the butter and lard. Thanks

Bev is definitely a treasure! Thanks for posting this vid! I will give it a try!

I keep several pounds of butter and lard in the freezer for pies for biscuits works great!

I tried tons of ratios and methods and this was the BEST one!! I made 30 pies this last thanksgiving using this exact recipe and method! I tripled it since that was easier to remember 😄

Always love homemade pie crusts

Lol. Heather try volka. Watched mudbroker's video and laughed through the whole thing but final product with cast iron corn bread pan with 8 divisions. If you haven't seen that video you need to. Take care sweet Heather and praying you are healing faster now that you are home.

Love Bev's videos as well...I learnt about you thru her...my two favorite ladies !

definitely trying this too!!

Thank you and for your videos there a big help for a beginner

A side bowl of flour works well for dipping your frozen shortening/butter into as you're grating. I love Bev's method too ETA I also use the useless plastic rice paddle from my rice cooker to toss the flour/fat mixture when adding the ice water so it doesn't get warmed up...the shape of it is perfect and I use the same basic motion you do but just use the rice paddle in place of my hot little hand.

At my Meijers lard is kept where the sausage cooler is. One trick mom used to use in making pie crust is cutting the Crisco and butter into 1 cup of flour then freezing it for about an hour or overnight in the fridge. Water had to have ice cubes in it too.

Thank you, I usually make mine in the food processor but I love doing things by hand, great tip on freezing the lard and butter, and I love the idea of grating them, I'm going to try to make a chicken pot pie this weekend.😊

Heather, my goodness, you came from pie crust heaven. What a great idea you have you and Bev. Will try. Noreen’s cream cheese crust is so yummy too. Thank you

Great video, thanks so much.

We remodeled our kitchen a couple of years ago and had our cabinets built taller than average. I'm 5'8 and hubby is 6'. Killed my back washing dishes before. Great video! Glad you are able to get back in the kitchen. ;)

Love you and Bev so much! XOXOXO

I love homemade pie crust. But,could never master it. I will definitely try this one💜 God Bless

This was very, very helpful......Bev is the best too!!!

thanks for sharing. you may have convinced me to give it a try!

I can't wait to try this! Pie crust hates me way more than it hates you!

Looks Great Heather! I brought lard, and it does make a difference. I love the tip about grating the crisco and butter! I'm darn sure going to do that too!

Thanks momma for this tutorial. I am very good at pizza dough but haven't attempted an actual pie dough before. I'll give it a go.

I would love to know where to purchase those beautiful measuring spoons. 🤔

I love the measuring spoons and cups. I need them. Anyone know where they came from?

who knew...? I always thought crisp WAS lard... lol I'm going to be adventurous and try this. I hate boxed pies, so I usually just relish in my mom's home made pies :) loving ALL your vids!

Seriously, pie crust hates me too! 😕 Thank you for this video. I can't wait to try it.

Best Crust recipe!!!!

Heather can this pie crust be frozen? If so how do you store it frozen... ie : rolled out then frozen, or just in a ball? Thanks so much! So nice to see your back (Jan 2022) to making videos! (I know this was a previous video from several years ago) Pace yourself so as not to get overwhelmed... All your subbies love you and continue to pray for you all ❣️🙏

Making this tonight (will be for a shepherds pie type dish} ...how long can it sit in the fridge? also, if not using half as a top, can it be frozen or made into something else? Will be my first homemade pie crust ever!! Thanks for your video's .... I enjoy every one of them!!

Just now getting around to making this. Just made the dough and it rolled out great. The apple pie is in the oven and now I'm just waiting for it to bake.

I can do this. Thank you

I have to giggle Heather, LOL haven't we all referred to Mrs. Volfie for tips and tricks, that woman is a God send!

great

Thank you for walking us through this process. Pie crust, bread, and rice always wrong for me no matter how closely I follow a recipe, but when you know something by feel and sight, even if you learn everything thats looks and feels wrong first, you can make anything :)

Thanks for the video. Do you live in Canada near Bev?

your a kinetic learner u tough feel ect did a BIG share on my Facebook for u hope it brings in more people to your channel

My Grandmother made amazing pie crust. She tried to teach me but I do not have the patience she had. She did the same thing with the water and she would keep her Crisco and butter in the fridge until just before she was ready, she then used two butter knives that she also had in the fridge and "cut the butter into the flour" and never touched the dough with her hands until it was mixed and at the consistency she wanted to make her ball of dough. Great job though, maybe I'll try one more time if I can work up the nerve.

Should I use salted or unsalted butter?

Heather, do you use this same crust for sweet pies? Do you add sugar?

I look at all American made there made out of aluminum to where did you buy your from

I'm gonna try this tonight. I've never made a pie from scratch. But I wanna make a pumpkin pie.

YAY SHE'S BACK... LOL

I think we are sending Pie Signals to one another Hahaha...Im uploading a Apple Pie Video this week also,making a pie Crust Mama..Haha,Great Job, Hugs,Xo

I think I'm going to have the same issue, I'm also going to have trouble making Lefse Want a challenge... try Lefse! LOL!! I love that you're doing this by hand. Also I'll remember *not* to ask for a specifically ask for a recipe knowing what I know now. 😉 (We're spoiled having the grater, back in the day, women didn't have those.)

This is something I struggle with so much!!! It's always dense and awful 😭 I have to try this recipe here. Maybe it will fix whatever I'm doing wrong 😊

Did you take down your video on chicken pot pie? I can't seem to find it.

Yummers!

Did you use all purpose flour?

👍

❤️

Doesn’t using your hands to mix the flour in heat the dough up unnecessarily?

lol... i hear ya on the pie crust... lard is the best... grandma always used lard and her crust was the best! ... as for rice you MUST get yourself an instant pot... it cooks rice, it is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, makes yogurt, you can saute in it AND it has a stainless steel insert... it is DA bomb!!! i will post a link for it below... and you are correct... bev is the best!

Try reformatting the SD card, if it's empty that is. If you do it and it's not, it will be erased.

I am buying me a pressure cooker I don't know which one will be good aluminum or stainless steel to use I see a bunch of them on eBay but they are aluminum

I will have to try this ... but 1/3 cup of butter is a little over 5 Tablespoons, not 6 !!! (5 + 1/3 TBS = 1/3 cup) But 6 TBS would be good, more butter is always good !!!

I literally gasped today when I saw you were making this video..(yep, I'm cool like that.) I think I need to make a pie. Or just some sugar cinnamon crust would be fine. I swear pie crust hates me. I have baked for years and can NOT make pie crust at all!!!! And P.S. I am a homesteading failure..I bought preshredded cheese today. Thanks for making this ! - Tammy

🧡🧡

NO baking powder?

my sweet teacher...

PLEASE watch Phyllis stokes on you tube. she is so sensible and her recipe is wonderful along with many of her dinners. older sweet lady that has been cooking for 40+ plus. she has so many recipes and tips

Oh yes! Me and pizza dough hate each other. I can't remember if I've made pie crust before or not. But I'm thinking not. I'm gonna try this.

...GIRL.. go buy ya a folding stool !! I bought mine in bed bath and beyond and had it for years until it finally went, then bought one in Kmart I think (but they do sell them, too). They generally cost around $13.00.. and well worth it!! I'd be lost without mine. They're made of that hard plastic stuff.. lol and sturdy. Mine ends up getting drug from room to room (we're all short here, lol).

No lard please. Thanks for the recipe. :)

Instead of lowering the counters, it'd be cheaper to get some thick-soled shoes or those thick foam rubber floor mats that bartenders and cashiers use.

Mmmm. I miss butter haha

In complete agreement about Bev at ourhalfacrehomestead.....and you too by the way!

As soon as i buy a rolling pin , I will try this,.LOL

OH BOY. always do not look forward to pie dough. even after over 40 years of great cooking . I make it and its good but geeeeeeeeeeeeez!
