This recipe is my sons favorite. He never wants a birthday cake, he always asks me to make him this pie, and I do. It is by far the best pudding pie I've ever had.

Candice from "Following Sweet Dreams Home" needs this pie in her little cafe. Just saying it would be a crowd pleaser.

Oatmeal Goodies Recipe (Cookies)

This is a #recipes my grandma used to create these delicious #cookies. I love chocolate chip cookies but these certainly gave the chocolate chip cookies a run for their money.

There is just something about baking during the holiday's that warms my heart. Maybe it's the memories of my grandma and me baking together. The wonderful aromas of spices filling her home. It takes me back to my childhood full of love, and for that I am grateful.

As I have said, my grandma inspired my novel Following Sweet Dreams Home. I had to pay tribute to how she made me feel loved each and every day. A grandma's love fills the soul.

Enjoy

Pie Crust Recipe

I know this year is difficult for all of us. We miss our families, our friends, and we will need to adjust and be inventive. Although I understand video chatting is not perfect at least we have that medium so we can see the smiles on our families faces.

The one thing I miss most is my grandma. Following Sweet Dreams Home is a tribute to all she taught me. My grandma baked something sweet every single day. You always knew she would have a treat waiting for you when you arrived at her home.

Below is my grandma's recipe for Pie Dough. Everyone loves homemade pie, so hopefully this inspires you to make a holiday pie that will warm your heart.

Single Pie Crust (from my grandma Mary)

Ingredients
1 cup sifted enriched flour
4 to 6 Tablespoons Lard
¾ teaspoon salt
2 to 4 Tablespoons cold water

Directions

Mix flour and salt in a bowl.
Cut lard into flour until crumbs are about the size of a small pea.
Using as little water as possible, add cold water, a little at a time, mixing quickly and evenly through flour with a fork until dough just holds in a ball.
Roll dough out until it’s about 1/8 inch in thickness.
Line pie pan.
Add your pie filling.
Bake according to direction in pie recipe.
For baked crust prior to adding filling, prick bottom of shell with fork before baking.
Bake crust at 450°for 8 to 10 minutes.

This is the recipe my grandma always used. She made the most delicious apple pies because her apples were picked from her tree and the pie was baked with love. She also used a lot of cinnamon. The extra dough she rolled out and cut into thick strips. Sprinkled sugar and cinnamon on top and bake them. They were little treats I love having.

From my home to yours, Happy Holiday’s
