Actually, it is a family recipe. My Aunt Maud always said that the key to a perfect pie crust is to use your hands and no utensils. As far as I can tell, she's right, because these always turn out perfectly flaky and they're just shortening, flour, and water. This is one time that Martha and I disagree.

You are just like your mom. Every Thanksgiving I think about her preparing that big meal. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and may God Bless you always. Aunt Nora

guess you've been SO BUSY cleaning and baking and letting Ellie chew on your fingers that you haven't had the chance to type! Good luck with your HUGE meal (and bless your heart for such an undertaking). Save some leftovers for me! :) - Tam (and I'd love to have your pie crust recipe if you're willing to share...)!
