HELEN HUBLER WRIGHT’S PIE CRUST

Ingredients
2 ¼ cup flour 3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup softened butter 5 tablespoons cold water
¼ cup sugar

Instructions
Combine flour, sugar and salt and add to softened butter. Mix with a fork. Add water

by 1 tablespoon at a time as needed. Use hands and form into two balls and flatten.
Roll out on floured surface or on wax paper to fit pie plate. For less mess put dough
between two pieces of wax paper and roll out. Place bottom pastry dough at bottom
of plate and make tiny holes by just stamping with a fork a few times. Fill with
desired filling and place pastry dough on top. Cut slits in the top. Seal the sides and

flute. Cover edges with aluminum foil. Put into preheated oven at 425 degrees for 50
minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 more times.

This is what I am known for-pie making and my crust. In the fall, I would make the apple
pie and the pumpkin pie. These are my husband, Ron’s favorite pies, but he said any pie
that I made was terrific! Kim Christy, my daughter loved the apple pie. I would make the
cherry pie in the winter and for my son, Drew’s birthday because it was his favorite.
During the summer, I would make the blueberry pie which is my son, Todd’s favorite pie.
