NANA'S PIE CRUST

Steps:

• In medium mixing bowl combine flour, salt and sugar.
• Cut in crisco. This means to use a fork and mash the crisco in until it look like tiny balls in with the flour.
• Add water.
• On floured surface put half the dough. Flour the outside of your dough thoroughly and your rolling pin.
• Roll out dough to fit your pan. Remember to flour dough regularly throughout rolling.
• To move dough into pan, double over and gently move. If dough breaks you can roll out again, but remember the more you roll your dough the "tougher" it gets.
• Brush top crust with milk for a beautiful golden brown.

NANA'S BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• 1. mix the blueberries, sugar, flour, cinnamon, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Careful not to bruise or squish berries.
• 2. Pour into bottom pie crust. Dot with butter.
• 3. Top with second pie crust and fold it over the edges of bottom crust and pinch to secure.
• 4. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
• 5. Remove from frig and poke holes in top of pie with fork to allow steam out while baking.
• 6. Place pie on baking sheet in order to catch juices that may spill over and Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for about 20 minutes.
• 7. Reduce temperature to 350 and bake for 20 minutes more.
• 8. Remove pie and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mix all over entire pie, making sure to get right to the edges (no one has ever left a crust on the plate from my pie since it tastes so delish)
• 9. return pie to oven and bake for additional ten minutes or until juices are thick and bubbling.
• 10. Remove pie and cool completely so it doesnt run when cut. (I do not like hot blueberries so I refrigerate mine after cooling and dont serve until its cold) Add a bit of cool whip or whip creme or ice cream and enjoy
