First off, Im truly sorry about not posting any bread, muffin, or any kind of pastry ......Its been one of those weeks....school starting, a very stressful situation( where I didn't feel very good)
But here is todays recipe, I have posted this before, but what the yeck...This is my blog and I want to repost again....

                     This recipe is from the Dessert cookbook

                                         Lets Start

                
                                              Sift together;
                                                      2 cups all-purpose flour
                                                      1 teaspoon salt

 

Cut in 1/3 cup shortening

then cut another

1/3 cup of shortening until

it resembles small peas

 

 

sorry about the blurriness

next drop 1 Tablespoon of cold water

over the flour mixture

and mix with a  fork

keeping drop Tablespoons of cold water

 until it forms a ball

about 6-7 Tablespoons

( It may vary due to the humanity)

Divide dough in half

Roll out into circle

to make sure it is rolled out enough

is using the rolling pin and partial

place the pie crust on the rolling pin and place in

the pie plate)

 

 

 

 

Prick with fork

and either fill with a yummy filling  that

needs to be bake in unbaked crust
