[For anyone curious, in the photo Brittany used 1/2 of the above recipe (2 single crusts), lined a 9 x 13 pan and doubled my quiche recipe to fill it. It was as yummy as it looks. :o)]
I hope everyone's summer
"Lets go and see everybody," said Pooh. "Because when you have been walking in the wind for miles, and you suddenly go into somebody's house, and he says, "Hallo, Pooh, you're just in time for a little smackerel of something," and you are, then it's what I call a friendly day."

This looks yummy! My pie crust calls for shortening, too, though I'm trying to do away with shortening in our home. Have you ever tried lard?
Tracy ~ I've not tried lard - though I've heard it does make a very flaky crust. In my experimentation crust with all shortening tasted a bit flat and all butter was somewhat fragile. I just kept pulling from different recipes and tweaking until I got what we liked. The result is that the final recipe has been jotted on the edge of another recipe for a few years now and keeps getting lost in the shuffle. :o) My blog seemed like a safe place to plant it for now. Let me know if you experiment with lard - I'd love to know how it turns out in taste and texture.
yummmmm...do you know I have had to go to my blog before for my season salt recipe...whew...I was glad I had posted on it...
lol Deby - I'm so glad I'm not the only one! :o)
Jodi and Brittany...that Quiche makes me hungry....your's are always so delicious.....
