I just sent you my recipe. My mom makes a *great* pie crust – she learned from Grandma Hamm. She claims the trick is in using super cold water (we had well-water, which is as cold as ice water), and not “over-working” the crust, but try as I might, I’ve never gone a very good job at making one, myself. Not that I don’t keep trying… :-P

I have a really simple pie on my blog, I’ll paste the link below. If you ever have a contest for muffins I have a recipe that is WAY too good to be true!

Regarding using my graham cracker recipe for a graham cracker pie crust…absolutely! I’ll just put that recipe into the ebook for people to refer to for their graham cracker crusts!!

I want to know what Jo Ann wants to know. Have you tried your homemade graham cracker recipe for pie crust? Because I have a cheesecake that is to die for, but the store crust probably has some no-no’s in it, and I KNOW that crushing regular graham crackers won’t work because they are just crispy rectangles of no-no!

Here is a super fast whole wheat and butter crust based on the Vegetarian Mother’s Cookbook by Cathe Olsen:

Whir 6T cold butter and 1 1/4 c white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour in a food processor. Then add water a little at a time while it’s running until it starts to clump together (3-4 TBSP). Keep dough cold, refrigerate if not using immediately. That’s it!

This is exciting…I am also pie crust challenged, and will be looking forward to learning how to make them!

Oh for the love of pie! ;-) I have a pretty good pie crust and a few good pie recipes in my book. Now I have a good excuse to make pie (I need a sample to photograph!) DH & the kiddos will be SO disappointed that they have to eat pie.

I love pie! I made your graham cracker recipe the other day (yummy!-my kids devoured them)and I was thinking about trying it as a pie crust. Have you ever considered or tried it as a graham crust?

yeah, pie crust? I can’t do it…then again, I may never have tried. I’m looking forward to reading all the pie receipe ideas. I’ve never really been a pie person, but I kinda feel like I should at least be able to make one.
