Perfecto Graham Cracker Crust . . . Works for Me Wednesday
Here is my recently discovered trick for making perfect graham cracker crusts....use a measuring cup to press the crust mixture into the pie pan!
Using a measuring cup helps keep the crust even, makes the sides pretty and keeps your fingers from getting buttery. (Not that buttery fingers were ever a BAD thing.)
{If you're so inclined, you can even lick the bottom of the measuring cup when you're finished. I'm not saying I did that.}
This is a great recipe for graham cracker crust...I used it again this week for Mr. E's birthday pie. More on that later....
Graham Cracker Crust
{source: Betty Crocker Cookbook (Bridal Edition) }
1 and 1/2 cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs
1/3 c. butter, melted (I used salted)
3 TBSP sugar
Preheat oven to 350.
Combine all of the ingredients. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9" pie pan.
Bake 10 minutes. Let cool completely before filling.
So simple and utterly yummy! Graham Cracker Crust works for me! What's working for YOU this week?
