The holiday season is officially upon us, and you know what that means… it’s time to dust off those family recipes, crank up the oven, and prepare for the ultimate feast! As you start mapping out your menu, there’s one essential, time-tested ingredient you need to ensure is stocked in your pantry—Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening!
Crisco has been the brand families rely on for generations, delivering consistent performance that makes all the difference in your cooking. Now, with a refreshed look and the same commitment to making your meals incredibly tasty, Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening is ready for its starring role in your holiday kitchen.
When we think of Thanksgiving, our minds instantly go to the star of the dessert table: the pies! And let’s be honest, a good pie lives and dies by its crust. That’s where Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening comes in.
What separates a decent pie crust from a spectacular one? Flakiness and tenderness. Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening provides structure and texture that can’t be matched, ensuring your baked goods—from biscuits to that all-important pumpkin pie—are light, airy, and truly memorable.
Speaking of Pumpkin Pie, you just can’t celebrate Thanksgiving without that classic dessert. Using Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening guarantees a crust that is perfectly golden brown and wonderfully flaky—the signature of a homemade pie that your family will adore.
Ingredients
Method
- Stir flour and salt in large bowl until blended. Cut shortening into flour mixture using pastry blender or fork until shortening pieces are the size of peas. Gradually add just enough water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with fork just until dough holds together and forms a smooth ball.
- Shape dough into a ball. Flatten into 1/2-inch thick disk. Wrap disk in plastic wrap. Chill 30 minutes or up to 2 days.
- Roll dough on lightly floured surface, rolling from center outward.
- Line 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate with prepared dough. Flute edges, as desired. Chill until ready to use.
- HEAT oven to 425°F.
- STIR sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in small bowl until blended.
- WHISK eggs in large bowl. Whisk in pumpkin and sugar mixture. Gradually whisk in evaporated milk. Pour into prepared pie crust.
- BAKE 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake an additional 45 minutes or until knife inserted 1-inch from edge comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack. Chill until ready to serve. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening isn’t just for crusts, either! You can use it for greasing baking pans to prevent sticking (a lifesaver!), making light and fluffy biscuits, or creating perfectly crisp fried foods. It’s truly the versatile ingredient that every holiday kitchen deserves.
