Cookies, Candy & Desserts

Pie Crust - For Two Pies (Grandma Dunn's) - 1996
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Recipe courtesy of Ginny Shonk

​INGREDIENTS
  • 3 cups  flour -- sifted
  • 1 teaspoon  salt
  • ½ teaspoon  sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups  shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon  lemon juice
  • 5 tablespoons  cold water

PREPARATION
Beat together egg, lemon juice and 4-5 tablespoons cold water. Mix flour, shortening, salt and sugar with a fork (no hands at this point) until crumbly. Add liquid and mix, using hands to lump together before rolling out.

This recipe came from Joan's grandmother who lives in New Lexington, Ohio. Joan thinks that Grandma Dunn and Grandma Wozny were separated at birth, due to the fact that they share the same impeccable housekeeping and gardening skills, they both have legendary recipes, and they're both the same height. We hope this isn't true, for Ron and Joan's sake!
