Shell Dish

Does anyone know a good pre-made pie shell, deep dish that is made with butter?

We used to use Nancy’s deep dish pie shells for a special pie that we make each year from our homegrown pears. I cannot find them now and even contacted the company to find out they have been discontinued. We are trying other crusts, but the secret seems to be that Nancy’s were made with butter, and most of the ones I’m finding now are made with shortening. Any ideas would be really helpful.

Make your own pie crusts, I do….it’s so easy! Use Crisco BUTTER Flavored Shortening….Here’s my Mother’s Recipe.

PIE CRUST:
4 cups flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cup Crisco Shortening
1/2 cup cold water
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 egg
Stir the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium size bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl beat together water, vinegar and egg. Add to flour mixture until the dough comes together. Gently gather dough particles together into a ball. Wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes. Divide into 4 balls. Lightly flour sides of the ball and roll out on lightly floured board or pastry cloth. Makes two 9-inch double-crust pies.

Note: Dough can be refrigerator up to 3 days. It can be frozen until ready to use; thaw until soft enough to roll.
