The BEST Pie Crust... You can almost NEVER Mess UP!!

I Got this pie crust Recipe from my older sister who got it from her mother-in-law. Her MIL is famous for her pies!!!

2 Cups Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
3/4 Cup Shortening (I use the white kind the butter flavor makes it turn out kinda weird)
1/2 Cup COLD water,milk, or 7up

Mix Together flour, salt, and shortening
Add water
Shape Dough into pie pans and bake
makes 2 crusts

Here are some Pie Recipes from her Mother In Law as well

Coconut or Bananas

Beat cream cheese until smooth
Add 1/2 of the pudding and beat again until smooth
Stir in remaining pudding and whipped cream.
DO NOT OVER STIR!

Mmm! Just in time for Thanksgiving. If I am asked to bring a pie to Thanksgiving dinner I think I'm going to try the coconut cream. My mouth is watering right now!

I was able to make 2 pies with the filling. I made one banana cream and a smaller coconut cream for Thanksgiving. Everyone loved them! Thanks for sharing!
