Is there a pizza crust recipe that uses, Crisco and evaporated milk. I
have made it before but I have lost the recipe.
Thanks

Never heard of it. googling for it doesn't turn up anything either.
Some recipes do use non-fat dry milk, though, which is not only not
evaporated milk, but also substantially different from (and much cheaper
than) drinkable powdered milk products. It tastes funny because there's too
much whey in it and the sugars and proteins have been heated to a point
where they've changed a bit. (it's a by-product of butter production)

Although I much prefer olive oil in pizza dough to shortening, you can take
about any pizza dough recipe and substitute some or all of the water with
evaporated milk and the shortening for the olive oil. If it isn't hydrated
quite right (you may need to add a wee bit of water,) just make notes of
what you had to do to get the right hydration. Then you should be able to
reproduce it every time. Most cooking isn't really such a matter of recipes
and formulas as it is ratios and understanding of the process. Good
cooking.

You are assuming that the OP had a yeast raised dough in mind. Without more
information, it is very hard to respond to the question. While not
traditional, there are "pastry crust" pizzas that are more like a biscuit
than bread dough. I would like to know what else went into the dough, if it
contained yeast, and what the technique was like.
