Best 6 Aunt Maxine Polings Fool Proof Recipe For Pie Crust Recipes

CIN'S "EASY CHERRY-BLUEBERRY PIE"

Steps:

• 1. I made enough pastry for a double crust pie (recipe link below). Warmed the canned cherry pie filling in a sauce pan on the stove, with the rum and lemon juice. Pour 1/2 of it into the pastry-crust you've put in bottom of pie plate. Sprinkled a layer of ''fresh frozen'' blueberries on top of cherry filling, then pour the other half of the cherry pie filling on top of the blueberries. Covered with a the other pastry crust, seal edges and crimp. Brush the liquid egg white over the top of crust and edges. Then I made some slits (also an ''S'' for my last name) on top crust and sprinkled sugar crystals on top. I used red & clear crystals. Baked pie at 425 dF for 30 minutes. Don't let edges get too dark or burn, cover edges if needed. OPTION: Serve hot or warm with vanilla ice cream. Easy as pie =;D & delish!!!

NO FAIL PIE CRUST I

Steps:

• Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Mix egg, water, and vinegar together in a separate bowl. Pour into flour all at once and blend with a fork until dough forms into a ball. Divide into 3 equal-sized rounds.
• Wrap with plastic and chill in a refrigerator until ready to prepare.

FOOLPROOF PIE DOUGH

Steps:

• Process 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, and sugar in food processor until combined, about 2 one-second pulses. Add butter and shortening and process until homogeneous dough just starts to collect in uneven clumps, about 15 seconds (dough will resemble cottage-cheese curds, and there should be no uncoated flour). Scrape bowl with rubber spatula and redistribute dough evenly around processor blade. Add remaining cup flour and pulse until mixture is evenly distributed around bowl and mass of dough has been broken up, 4 to 6 quick pulses. Empty mixture into medium bowl.
• Sprinkle vodka and water over mixture. With rubber spatula, use folding motion to mix, pressing down on dough until dough is slightly tacky and sticks together. Divide dough into two even balls and flatten each into 4-inch disk. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 45 minutes or up to 2 days.

AUNTIE IRENE'S FOOLPROOF PIE CRUST (SMALL BATCH)

Steps:

• Cut first four ingredients together until crumbly; set aside.
• Put vinegar in 2 cup liquid measuring cup.
• Fill to 1/2 cup mark with cold water.
• Add egg and beat with fork.
• Drizzle over dry ingredients; stir with fork.
• Turn onto lightly floured board and knead approximately 5 times, until no longer "sticky".
• Divide by 1/2-3/4 cup measure.
• Roll out on a lightly floured surface, using as little flour as possible and handling as little as possible.
• Bake empty shells at 400°F for 10-12 minutes on the bottom rack of the oven.
• Cooking pies on the bottom rack of the oven will help prevent over browning of the top and soggy crusts on the bottom.
• This dough freezes extremely well; simply flatten divided dough into a disk and put into a Ziploc bag, removing all air; thaw in fridge and roll out as directed.
