Always Ready Pie Crust Mix

Dear Reader-

This recipe for Always Ready Pie Crust Mix struck me by surprise... I never knew you could do such a thing!

So, when this FREEZE-O-RAMA Mama saw this OAMC (once a month cooking) recipe in Sweet & Simple, I instantly knew it was going to be my Recipe # 3 for my In the Kitchen with Gooseberry Patch project with the Real Farmwives of America and Friends.

You just take 6 cups of all-purpose flour...

And 2 Cups of Shortening

And 3 t Salt

And blend it up with a pastry blender... 

Truth be told, this was my first time using a pastry blender... and until now, I didn't understand what the big deal was... 

Now I do. 

LOVE how easy it blends well... pastry stuffs ;) 

Genius name if ya ask me... just sayin'

Now keep 'er sealed up tight until you are ready to use it.

Now then I gots to thinkin'... 

I probably won't remember that 2 Cups mix should be mixed with cold water 1 T at a time (up to 6 T)... 

Then I probably ought to note that somewhere...

Then I remembered the most fabulous markers (besides Sharpies) known to man... Wet Erase Markers.

You might recall that I recently discovered the most lovely fun way to keep track of my grocery list literally on my fridge! 

So, it occurred to me that I could do the same right on the smooth side of my pie crust container.
