  • Things get really busy for us during the holiday's so today we're going to get ahead of the game. We're going to make up a batch of pie crusts and freeze them, so they're ready to go. The recipe we're using uses Amish Friendship Bread Starter ( how to make it here • Amish Friendship Bread... ). It makes a total of 4 sheets, so either 4 pies or 2 if you have a top & bottom. If you've got a starter going, we're going to be making all kinds of things this winter, so follow along ♥
    Ingredients
    1 cup Amish Friendship Bread Starter
    2 cups shortening
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon sugar- I purposely didn't add
    4 cups flour
    1 egg - I purposely didn't add
    Instructions
    Add shortening, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a medium sized bowl and mix well.
    Beat the egg in a small bowl and add it to the Amish Friendship Bread Starter.
    Add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix together.
    Divide crust into 4 equal balls, and roll out into the shape your pie tin or pan requires, making sure that the crust is slightly bigger than your tin.
    Press into the bottom of your pie tin.
    Bake according to your favorite pie recipe.

    I just wanted to tell you I am a 71 year old Grandma in Ohio. Most of the things you do I am not physically able to accomplish anymore, or having animals or a garden are not a choice in our area of Ohio or in my or my disabled sons capability. Not looking for sympathy, just sharing and letting you know that so MANY of your cooking ideas are very helpful and enjoyable to learn. I don't remember who sent you to me, maybe Whipporwill Holler, you I also love dearly, but I'm so glad they did! I have fallen into the rabbit hole of going back and watching your videos. I spent one day last week going back and watching your videos all day long and daily I watch at least 3 or 4 along with any new ones you put out.The two of you remind me so much of the working relationship and chore sharing my late husband and I had for over 39 years. It warms my heart with memories and I'm so glad the two of you, like the Brown's , have that to share and will someday have those memories. Just wanted you to know, what you are doing and sharing with your videos has great value, even to us old folks. Sending much love and appreciation for the value and inspiration you so willingly share.

    Oh this is such a 'Why had I never thought of that!' moment. I always double up pastry to freeze one but never even thought about pre-rolling it out! Such a good idea as really, the mess of getting the flour and rolling pin out with clean up is what makes it the chore and puts me off making pies. Having a ball in the freezer saves a little time but having it rolled out saves time, effort and clean up. Genius Rachel :)

    I just made half the recipe because I didn’t have shortening and didn’t want to use all my butter. 2 crusts are perfect, though, for a hearty pot pie with all the Thanksgiving leftovers I have! I may just top it with mashed potatoes instead of a crust and then I’ll have another for a pie. I also am one who didn’t realize how versatile this starter was. Thanks for putting together these videos. Next, the chocolate bread! 😋

    Winter is my favorite time to make home made bread, especially sour dough bread. Heating up the stove, baking bread, and eating warm bread on a cold winter day here in Michigan is just so relaxing. I made Amish Friendship bread several years ago, and haven't made it since. I should definitely give it a go again.

    Hello from Guam! This is the 4th video of yours I have watched. I'm really enjoying your channel. Also the timing was fantastic a friend gave me an Amish Friendship Bread starter about 3 weeks ago. I made the initial loaf and gave away 2 and kept 2 now I have 2 big jars of starter going and I can't wait to try this in pie crust. I also loved your blue berry pancakes. Love seeing all the Fall nesting! We're about 80F year round here. I just picked a 50lb bunch of bananas on Sunday so I'm in the process of dehydrating, making monkey butter, and freezing. I'm inspired to see how the starter will work in banana bread. Thank you!!

    Years ago I used to make the sweet Amish friendship bread, and I did so many flavors, but I got to where I had too much discard and not enough energy to keep baking. Do you continue to do the 10 day process after every use, or just feed once a week? Do you discard any? I would love to have it on hand anytime I want it, but with low maintenance and not have to keep up with what day I’m on…? I hope that made sense, lol.

    Can you use suet, from the kidney fat of a calf or cow? We had a 1-year old calf butchered and I asked for the kidney fat, the butchered called suet. I know you can put suet in Christmas pudding, a fabulous cake-like "pudding",my mom always made and put in a bid coffee can, covered with foil, and cooked in boiling water (water bath) in the oven, or on the stove top. It's then covered with a delicious buttery, vanilla sauce. I need to find out if she used the suet before cooking it down, to get any meat or impurities out of it! Does anyone know which way suet is used?
    Also, can you water bath can the boiled down suet, to make it shelf stable?
