GRAMMA'S FAVORITE PIE DOUGH
Incredibly quick and easy pie dough. All these ingredients should be in your pantry. This is ideal for pumpkin pie or other custard pies. Roll it out a bit thicker and it will hold up to the pie. I finally converted the SO who kept insisting the store-bought were fine. Those things are thin and tasteless. Blech.
