The dough can be left in refrigerator for up to 3 days. It remains soft and can be taken out and rolled at once, or it can be frozen until ready to use. Just thaw until soft enough to roll. Makes two 9" pies and one single crust pie. This recipe came from Marcella, an internet friend. Thanks, Marcella. |
