Very very good. Made it for my thanksgiving pumpkin chiffon pies. (Even used the excess dough to make cookies- I can't stop eating 'em!) I made two batches, and messed up the first one because of inexperience. The first attempt I tried to use a makeshift food processor and it came out too wet so I added ½ cups four. Then I put it in the fridge w/o wrapping and it came out dry… So in the end the dough was rather overworked. THEN to top it off I baked it w/o poking any holes in it, and it became a balloon!!! So to all of you first timers- ALWAYS remember to poke the pie crust before you bake it if you’re not adding a filling. But the second one came out beautifully! I still added ½ cup flour but monitored my liquid a little bit better. I learned from my mistakes and its moist, flaky, and slightly sweet. Yummy yummy!

I have been baking for years and this was the best crust. I made two different pies and got rave reviews for both of them. Thank you

Finally a pie crust I am proud of. Excellent directions. I used this with Brown Family's Favorite Pumpkin Pie from this site and it was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

Great pie crust. I usually use the Longaberger recipe, but decided to try this one because it's similar. The main difference is the addition of cake flour. I'm not sure if it's the cake flour or not that did it, but it was delicious, flaky and very easy to handle. Rave reviews from my family who can usually tell when I've tried a new recipe.

Followed this to a T and I even put it in the fridge and freezer to try and yield the best results. I do have to say I was scared because my food processor did not combine this well at all, maybe because i was making a double batch for Grandma Opels Apple Pie but a lot stuck to the bottom and I though I over mixed it then when tasting it after it was done, it tasted a lot like the vinegar and I was dissapointed after all the work i had done. I did not lattice the top but just put in several slits and baked the pie hoping for it to be partly edible. boy oh boy, my Mother in law is one of the best pie bakers I've ever met and my husband and I both said this was the BEST pie we've ever eaten! I can't wait to make it for family! We both devoured this nightly until it was gone (4 days)! You need to try the pie recipe with this crust, I was even eating the harder edges plain, you know where they get fat and hard, i've never eaten those and I could eat a bowl of it alone! There is a delicious sauce that goes on the top of the crust in the recipe which worried me as well, I thought it would compromise the apple pie flavor but it turned out to be the best part. You must try, you won't be dissapointed and i'm pretty sure it's fool proof if I made it that great!

This is one of those recipes some cooks would never be kind enough to share. Thank you!!! The top crust is extra special if you froth the left over egg white, brush it over the top crust, and sprinkle it with coarse sugar (though regular will do), right before baking. One precaution: Do not just "throw in" the ice water mixture in the last step, but start with a few tablespoons and only add enough water for the dough to stick together but not be wet. Chances are you will not use more than 5 Tablespoons. But as I said, this recipe makes a treasure of a crust!

This is the best pastry recipe I've ever used. I don't have a food processor; I cut the fat in by hand with a pastry cutter and it worked fine, so you don't neccesarily HAVE to use a food processor. : ) There are more steps involved in this recipe than others I've used, but it's definitley worth the effort. I'll use this recipe for all my pies in the future. Thanks!

I ended up adding too much liquid (dough was a little sticky), but this crust STILL turned out perfectly! I will not be using any other crust recipes - this is definitely IT. I also didn't have cake flour, but did not think the crust suffered for it.

I didn't have cake flour or vinegar, but this crust still turned out the best I've ever made. It was flaky and flavorful. Used it for three types of pies. This will be the crust I'll be using from now on. Just perfect.

Best pie crust I (or anyone I know) has ever had. I make peach-apple pies in this crust for every dinner party or other event I'm invited to and there are never left overs. I get asked for the recipe ALL the time. FINALLY, a pie crust recipe that lives up to our expectations!

I love this recioe!! However I found it almost too flaky when I had to transfer it to other homes. If you cut back a small amount on the cake flour snd increase the regular flour by the amount cut, It makes almost no difference. ( except a little more stable to move to another place)
