I admittedly have tried my hand at making pie crusts while in my 20’s…I’m er 30 now ;)…..and I had no luck. I was single back then…now I’m married and a Baker. Seems I should perhaps try my luck at pie crusts again! This recipe was submitted by Nicole and it has a twist – 7up! I have never heard of a pie crust recipe with 7up in it and I am very intrigued. I will be trying this recipe out in the near future and look forward to pie crust success! It seems so simple and we like simple. Thank you Nicole!

Basic Pie Dough Recipe
5 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 lb Tenderflake lard
1 can cold 7-up (not diet)
Here we go….
Mix flour and salt, cut in lard, stir in 7-up, divide into 5 equal portions. Wrap each of the 5 portions in plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes. Then roll out into 5 pie crusts. At this point follow the instructions of the pie you are making (ie: prebake or not). Have fun!
