Making a pie crust from scratch is not as hard as you might think! This basic recipe is simple to make. It's perfect for pies like apple, chess or pecan and it can be used in other desserts too!

The ingredients are: flour, salt, vegetable shortening, and ice water. We use our White Unbleached Flour. It’s our own high-quality Old Mill flour, but it is not bromated (bleached) to make it whiter. So it’s still white, but slightly less bright. Full of natural stone-ground goodness.

Be sure to share your success stories and pictures of the pies that you've made using our flour on social media!
