The Olson Family Cookbook 1920’s – 40’s

Sauris North Dakota

October 8th 1931

Graham Cracker Crust

First, I get a small pie plate or maybe an old saucer ready. Then I melt the butter and crush the crackers. I do this on a bread board with a rolling pin, being very careful to get them very fine. I add cinnamon and butter and mix these well with the crumbs, I put about two-thirds of the crumb mixture in the pie plate and press it down in an even layer all over the bottom and sides of the plate like a crust. I try to press it so it is quite firm and smooth.
