I like the Duggars because they have that old fashioned quality of just getting the basics right. They have to out of necessity not be extravagant, so we get the essentials to making a good pie crust without the frills and fancies that confuse and complicate! Thanks! It is always interesting to find out how the Duggars do things. Now that's evolution for people, evolving to the most efficient way to use a dollar! Jim Bob and Michelle are really evolved people!
ReplyDeleteAgree.....simplicity is the best
DeleteYum! This reminds me of my family's pie crust recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recipe, not all of us have a good recipe for pie crust.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I would like to make this but I would like to know if the T stand for table spoon or teaspoon. Thank You
ReplyDeleteLove the whole family and love being able to keep up with you all.
Love Christine
T is tablespoon
Deletet is teaspoon
Usually an upper case (T) is tablespoon and a lower case (t) is teaspoon.
DeleteA lower case t usually stands for teaspoon, and a capital T usually stands for tablespoon. So, 1 teaspoon salt, 6 tablespoons ice cold water. :)
Delete"T" is for Tablespoon, "t" is for teaspoon. :)
DeleteBig T is usually tablespoon, while small t is usually teaspoon
DeleteSame recipe as my Mom's!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 3, usually a capital T indicates a tablespoon, and a lower case t indicates a teaspoon. At least that's what mom always said:)

ReplyDeleteAn uppercase T is always tablespoons, lowercase t is teaspoon.
whats used for shortening?
ReplyDeleteI just want to thank Anna Duggar for being a good example of a hostess for a holiday meal. I hosted this Thanksgiving on a budget and just went with some of Anna's wisdom such as getting a store pie instead of doing all the baking and fooling with expensive ingredients this time. Maybe next time I will plan ahead and bake a pie and freeze it if I have to. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteA capital T is always Tablespoon. A lower case t is teaspoon.

What is shortening?
ReplyDeleteCrisco is the brand I use for shortening. You can buy it in a can or sticks. Usually in the baking aisle
DeleteThanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy recipe is similar except try using half butter and half crisco with two heaping tablespoons of powered sugar, its a richer tasting crust that resembles short bread cookies.

ReplyDeleteHi momto9,
Most people use butter, Crisco, or a combination of the two. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Noomi,
Shortening refers to the fat used to make the pie crust. Most people use butter, Crisco, or a combination of the two.
