Hot Water Pie Crust: The Easiest Pie Crust You Will Ever Make

Before we jump into another Tasty Tuesdays Link Up with fabulous recipes shared by my fellow bloggers, I want to share this recipe for Hot Water Pie Crust with you because I am already in the Holiday spirit.

I have a fear of pie crusts, they intimidate me. I have ruined far too many (yes, one is too many in my book). So when I saw this recipe in an old cookbook from the PBS Series Cooking from Quilt Country: Hearty Recipes from Amish and Mennonite Kitchens, I knew I had to give it a try.

It worked!! The original recipe calls for lard, but I substituted shortening. I will have to try it again with some butter mixed in too.

And look at what I made with it … Pecan Maple Cream Tassies.
