Green tomato pie makes an awesome conversation piece. I took it to a potluck and it was a delight to share. —Charlotte McDaniel, Jacksonville, Alabama

Dough for double-crust pie (9 inches): Combine 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 3/4 tsp. salt; cut in 3/4 cup shortening until crumbly. Gradually add 4-6 Tbsp. 2% milk, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
