I bake pies in large quantities for farmer’s markets. However, I don’t mix my crust in large quantities as it’s difficult to get the texture and quality in a huge batch. I use the recipe on the box of lard and make a double batch; which makes four crusts. I wrap it in plastic and refrigerate it and keep making more until I have enough. Seems tedious; but you could spend one day making crust dough and the next filling and baking them.

If I were you, I would get together with said friend, each map out a section of countertop with you own measuring cups/spoons, bowls, pastry blender, etc. and whilst you talk make double batches of pastry dough. You will each have 50 crusts made before you know it. Just be sure that you focus enough to keep track of the ingredients and amounts as you add them….let’s see, did I add salt and was that my 2nd cup or 3rd cup of flour?
I am voting with Deb that small batches come out better.
Gosh, one would almost need a wheelbarrow and hoe to work up nearly 7 pounds of flour and 3-1/2 pounds of shortening.
Have a glass, or two, of wine when you get done….you deserve it.
