Im making pecan pie... but i dont have everything...?

Question

im making pecan pie, but i dont have a pie crust or vanilla?

what can i use for the crust and vanilla?

Answer 1

FAMOUS PIE CRUST

Makes 2 pie crusts.

2 cups all purpose flour

1 cup cold crisco shortening (or butter very cold)

pinch of salt

4 tablespoons ice water

Mix dry ingredients Cut in shortening with pastry cutter. Add ice water and continue working until dough forms. DO NOT OVERWORK.

I have even used orange juice or apple juice in place of vanilla, extracts and liqueurs work better though.

Almond extract, rum, amaretto, Grand Marnier, framboise, or any of dozens of other extracts, essences, brandies, or liqueurs could stand in for vanilla in certain recipes.

hope this helps.                good luck and enjoy.

Answer 2

You could use like graham cracker crumbs with butter and mold your own crust. Maybe use another type of extract if you don't have vanilla.
