Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Scald milk and add to sugar, butter and salt; stir until butter is melted. Mix cinnamon and flour. Add 1/2 the flour to the milk/sugar/butter/salt, and mix until smooth. Beat 3 eggs and add them and the yeast to the mixture.

Never Fail Pie Crust

This is a fabulous recipe ! I ignored it for several years, because I came from the background that you should never make a pie crust unless all of your ingredients were ice cold...Crisco recommends making this at room temperature, and Lo and Behold... The flakiest pie crust I have EVER made!
