Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Butter Crunch Crust

Original Recipe from:  Eileen Griffin

Eileen Griffin was my mother’s aunt.  I remember her as a warm and friendly woman who welcomed you to her kitchen to visit.  My grandmother was very close with Eileen and the two of them traded recipes throughout the years.  They shared this recipe on September 27, 1966.  This pie crust works with so many different fillings.  It really is a stand-by recipe.  One you always keep the ingredients on hand for when company or inspiration come calling.  Enjoy!

Ingredients and

1/2 cup Butter
1/4 cup Brown Sugar (packed)
1 cup sifted Flour (original recipe calls for Gold Medal Flour)
1/2 cup chopped Pecans, Walnuts or Coconut (if you like)

Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Mix all ingredients by hand. 

Spread in an oblong baking pan (9x13x2).  Bake 15 minutes.

Remove pan from oven.  Stir mixture with a spoon to crumble.  Save 3/4 cup for topping.  Immediately press on bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie pan.  Cool

Pour in your favorite lemon chiffon, or creamy pie filling.  Sprinkle reserved crumb over top.  Chill 1 hour before serving.

8 servings.  Note:  The original recipe says, “Good”.
