A Different Pie Crust

Ever feel like making a pie but not feeling like making a crust and rolling it out? Here's my favorite recipe for pie crust - my Mom used to call it "Cake-Like" Pie Crust. Easy to mix and then just mold it to your pie plate:

6 tablespoons Butter
3 tablespoons Sugar
1 cup Flour
1 Egg
Vanilla

Cream butter and sugar and then add egg. Mix. Add flour and vanilla. Flour hands and pat in shape in pie plan. Fill and bake in 350 degree oven.

I just made this peach pie this morning using this crust recipe.

I was outside and missed the timer so it got a bit dark but I'm sure it's still going to be good - I especially love this crust with peach as the filling. Can't wait to have a piece!

Last night I was in the mood to hook but Jonesy was sleeping on top of my piece and hooking frame. So I went and did a few things and came back and found my tiger on the frame -

You want to hook - Now?

I was able to get Riley to move a bit so did about a 3" x 3" square around him - then gave up and just watched a movie!
The mail brought me a great gift today - Last week I "won" Ginger's, of Primitives by the Light of the Moon, blog give-a-way. She is one talented lady and let me just say it's an awesome pin keep - Even better than the pic - Thanks so much Ginger - what a kind and generous gesture! You should check out her items - she's always stitching up something or rug hooking and they are great! Thank you again!


Wishing everyone a good week!

Congrat's on your winning of Ginger's pinkeep. Too cute! She does make wonderful things. Your crust sounds very easy to make. HOpe Jonesy finds a different spot to sleep tonight, so you can hook!
