Just call me Betty C.

Go ahead and make fun, but I can't help but find the following recipe a-mazing. Apparently you can store this on your counter like, forever, to have on hand whenever you're in the mood for a homemade pie? We're crediting Grandma on this one.

Pie Crust Mix

6 cups flour
1 tbsp salt
2 1/3 cups Crisco

Measure out dry ingredients, cut in Crisco. Store in Tupperware. When ready to make a pie, use 1 1/2 cups of mix + 3 tbsp (cold!) water.

In other baking news, look out. Apparently it's not just a mean trick anymore. It's a crime.

Dude, I did not even know people really did that. Perhaps that mom saw one too many Very Special Episodes of Punky Brewster, Diff'rent Strokes, etc.

Shelf life "forever" probably not quite that long.... way cool, it's like your own Bisquik. Next thing we'll hear is that you are making and keeping sourdough starter!
