Some of my best family memories are when we sit down and eat together… I love eating desserts with my loved ones. Everyone is satisfied with dinner and enjoying the moment and each other. Even if it’s a cake we made for afternoon tea with my aunts, it’s always special to me! Tried and tested, Mom’s Pie Dough is strong enough for any filling, yet light, flaky, and delicious. Perfect for Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, Christmas lemon meringue, your favorite quiche, and everything in between!
You can use this dough to make strudel or even cover your pie with a crust or grid… This is the perfect recipe for anything like that!
