Isn't it wonderful that so many of us are still making pie "from scratch"!!!!! I think even a "bad" homemade pie is better than those purchased from the grocery store. My grandmother always kept a Crisco can full of "crumbs" [her flour, salt and fat premixed] in the refrigerator to pull out when she wanted to make pie. She took out the amount needed, added water and made her crusts. As kids, we thought her pies were wonderful. I have never tried this. Just want to encourage everyone to continue the baking tradition!!!!
