The Ranchers Wife Review: Good golly that was easy pie crust!

Welcome to my review!

For my birthday this year I received a very special gift from my husband, Cody. He gave me a cookbook written by the most wonderful woman whom I have come to adore for a couple of years now. My boss got me started on reading this woman's blog and I have become more and more obsessed with each passing entry she makes. Sounds kinds of stalking like, but hey, its a public blog she writes! This woman is the Pioneer Woman. Her cookbook, Pioneer Woman Cooks. PW (Pioneer Woman) lives my life at a more extreme level. I can relate to her, cows, horses, kids, and especially the handsome husband. My Cody is quite dashing!

I am cooking up her cookbook. I will write reviews of the recipes she has created. The reviews will also include my family's thoughts of the recipes. This will be one way I can feel like I am friends with PW, we can cook together!

Good golly that was easy pie crust!

I wanted to make the flat apple pie recipe out of the Pioneer Woman Cooks cookbook. But I see that my family has eaten all of my apples! So maybe next time. But I wet ahead and made the pie crust that is in the cookbook. An good golly Ms. Molly! It was easy!

I whipped it up during nap time and they are waiting to be filled with a raspberry mixture i have in mind.

The crust is a mixture of flour, shortening, water, egg, and vinegar. You mix it together and put in bags until ready to use! Took about 8 minutes to whip up.

This is a keeper!

And the last picture is the finished product.
