Coffee anyone ?

Ok. Guess I better consult the good old web or talk to my elderly neighbor when I take her mail into her later on today.

Crisco Crusts are delicious and flaky. 2/3 cup crisco, 2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 5-6TBSP of COLD water.

This is a double crust recipe.

KiKi I have 5 laying hens but we do run at about 25-30 eggs a week right now. Much for us. I have a foodie friend who raves over our eggs and knows their value. I love taking eggs to her. She puts love notes to the hens along with her money in the empty cartons.

I currently don't have Crisco. Haven't went shopping yet.

I talk to the hens I tend to when I lock them in the coop at night even though I get told by a family member that it's stupid to talk to them.

Nope. I have margarine right now.

Perchie that's what my Grandma used. It does make good crust. But maybe because grandma rendered it herself too.

Oh I do too. I tell them to quit picking on each other and to get along. Darn Wyandottes. Trouble makers.

I tend to Buff Orpington and Rhode Island Red. They are brown eggs layers.
