Pie Crust Treats

Submitted by: Dawn Timmerman
This is a fun rainy day treat for the kids to make. They might need a bit of help rolling the dough, but the rest will be a snap for small hands. The pastry is cut into fun shapes, spread with softened butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. They 're in and out of the oven within ten minutes. 

Vinegar and Egg Crust

Submitted by: Ron Schmaeman
This is a very flaky and very tasty prize-winning pie crust that mixes up nicely, but it is a bit tricky to roll out. So if you have a pastry cloth and a rolling pin, you 'll need them. Or try rolling this dough between lightly-floured sheets of waxed paper. This recipe yields one double-crust pie.

Mock Graham Cracker Crust

Submitted by: Phyllis Wilson
I used to wonder why I disliked cheesecake and key lime pie, since I like cream cheese pastry and lemon pie. Then I tried a key lime pie in a shortbread crust and realized it was the graham cracker crust I disliked. Both these desserts need a darker than usual crust, however.
