7-Up Pie Crust
"This is a recipe I tweaked from cdkitchen.com. It originally called for lard, but I don't care for it, so I subbed half butter, half shortening. I made this for a Colonial Apple Pie, and it was delicious! The 7-Up sounds strange, but you don't taste it at all. It just makes the crust flakey."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi! Thank you for visiting my page! Cooking is my favorite hobby.
My style of cooking is Eclectic American. America is full of food diversity, and I incorporate Italian, Mexican, and Spanish cuisines into what I make. My dad and I make "Jambasta" (jambalaya+ penne pasta), "Philly Cheesesteak Tacos", and other great-tasting foods.
This is how I rate the recipes on this site:
5- Totally awesome. I will definitely make it again.
4.5- Recipezaar does not have this rating, but I round it up to 5. This means the recipe was delicious, but there were some teeny tiny problems that could be corrected. I would certainly make it again.
4- Tasted great, but there were some minor problems (too rich, too salty, too sweet, etc.) I will make it again, but with some minor corrections.
3- Tasted OK; not what I expected. Might not make it again.
2- Tasted bad; will not make it again.
1- Tasted terrible; lots of problems; will never make it again.
I rarely give below a 4. I'm learning to open my palate to the world around me. I also want to be kind to the chefs here at 'Zaar.
I love spicy food. I have to have it every month.
My favorite restaurant... PF Changs! They have the best egg drop soup I have ever tasted. Their lettuce wraps are addicting, too. When they give you the chili oil, I'm always generous with it, since I love spicy food. I treat it like pepper.
