I have not tried to make my own pie crust for 30+ years. My grandmother diligently tried to teach me using this type of recipe when I was a teen and I was a complete failure. I do great with any other type of baking, but this is something that has always eluded me. Last night my oldest daughter asked me to make my from scratch chicken pot pie, that I usually buy premade crust for. I didn't have time to run to the store and so decided to try my hand at crust again. I gave this recipe 4 stars only because the baking instructions are missing and because, similar to others, I had a lot of trouble rolling out, so some tips for how to make that go smoother would have been nice. It wasn't pretty, but it was delicious. My husband came home late from work and didn't know that I had made the crust. He sat down in the arm chair with his plate to relax and eat his dinner and his first comment was "this crust is sooooo good." I also appreciate the gluten free instructions that the site links to this recipe. My 2nd born has to be GF, so I guess that may be my next attempt! As noted by other reviewers, this is only enough for a large single crust. You need to double the recipe for a double-crust pie.

The crust was easy to work with, however, I did not know if it was a one crust recipe or for a two crust pie. I was disappointed when I had to make the recipe again to finish my pie.

Fabulous! Don't change a thing. Be sure to double the recipe if you plan on putting a top on your pie! I used it for strawberry rhubarb, and it was to die for.

Very easy to make! But i hurt my hand cutting in that butter! lol I took the advice of another member and put milk and sugar on the crust before baking to make it sweeter. I will make again soon thanks!

Easy to make and flaky, but kind of bland.

TERRIBLE! I'd give it less stars but I can't. Have no idea of the taste of this because you can't get past rolling it out. I was in search of a flakier crust. I guess I will go back to my Joy of Baking - Pie Crust recipe. Tried the tricks mentioned by others and no luck! Never mind rolling out a top crust for the pie. I just wasted time and money with this recipe. This is the first time Allrecipes.com has let me down.

This was wonderful! I used salted butter instead of the shortening and salt. I just pressed it in the pan for the bottom. Everyone loved it....even my daughter who usually won't touch pie crust.
