"To save time you can use pre-made crusts found in the refrigerator section of your grocery store. I make mine with my grandmother's recipe below. What is nice about this crust recipe is you can make as little or as much as you would like. (Cut the ingredients in half, if you'd like. This recipe will make at least two complete top and bottom crusts.) For speed on a busy morning, you can mix the dry crust ingredients ahead of time. I mix the dry ingredients ahead and store them in the refrigerator, then just dip out about 2 cups for each top crust and 2 cups for the bottom crust. Add your cold water or milk when you are ready to roll it out. You can also make the complete pie ahead of time, it freezes well. You can make an 8" pie (serves 6 easily) or 9 to 10" pie (serves 8 to 10 easily) or little individual oval Pyrex ramekins. Once made, they can be baked or frozen and baked later...."
