Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier crust, consider using cold margarine and mixing it with your hands to create a crumbly texture. If you're out of self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This easy pie crust can also be flavored with spices like cinnamon for a twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pie crust over your favorite fruit cobbler, such as peach or berry, for a delightful dessert. A scoop of vanilla ice cream pairs beautifully with the warm cobbler, adding a creamy contrast. For an added touch, drizzle with Sue'S Frosting for extra sweetness.
