Pi(e) Day

Happy March, y'all!

Today was so beautiful and warm! I sat outside in the sunshine for over half an hour getting my vitamin D! Enough about today, though...

Yesterday (March 14th) was Pi(e) Day. Get it? Pi = 3.14. (I am such a homeschooler!) So Mom and I made a caramel pie for my dad (his favorite). I can't share the recipe for the pie, but I can share the pie crust recipe with y'all.

Easy Pie Crust Recipe:
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup shortening
1 tsp Karo, optional
 3 to 4 tsp cold water

Stir the flour and salt together.

Mix in the shortening until it looks like little pebbles.

The key to good pie crust is COLD water.

Add 3 to 4 tbsp of cold water to the flour mixture until it forms a ball. Try not to knead or overwork the dough. Roll to 1/4 in.

Place in the pie pan and trim. If you aren't going to use it right away, place it in the fridge to keep it cold.




Fly with Christ!
