Florence Ueberroth’s Famous Pie Crust
Lemon meringue, apple, pumpkin, blueberry, shoe fly pie – my grandmother made them all and was rightly very proud of her masterpieces. She was so eager to get feedback that before a guest could finish swallowing the first bite, she would lean in and demand “How much would you pay for a pie like that?!” Her recipe is easy and never fails. You too can be a proud pie maker.
