This pie crust turned out wonderful for me. I followed the instructions and did not mess with the dough much. I did have to use more water than called for to get the dough to form a ball. It baked up beautifully and was very buttery and flaky.

My first "from scratch" pie crust, it was easy and very very good. I doubled the reciepe and needed more water than was called for. I also used all purpose flour but dusted my rolling surface with whole wheat flour for a bit of a twist.

Thank you a thousand times over for this fabulous recipe! This was my first attempt ever to make a pie crust. I was very careful not to overwork the dough and to keep the butter and the water ice cold. I was pretty paranoid during the whole process, but it turned out super flakey and light! Had this not turned out, it could have turned me off of ever trying to make pie crust again, but thank goodness it came through for me and just might have opened up a whole new can of worms--now, I'm thinking of sugar cream pie, raspberry pie, apple... Thank you, Dana!

Very quick to make. I made this in a pot pie for my boyfriend and he loved it. Nice, light, flaky pie pastry with zero effort. <3

This was my first time making my own crust. This crust was absolutely divine! I used light salted butter. I left it in the fridge over night. I needed some flour to roll this out, but it turned out beautifully with my Most Spectacular Strawberry Pie. Will DEFINITELY make again. I will try it with chicken pot pie next! THANK YOU DANA!!!

Let me tell you....I have made SO MANY crust recipes.....and have yet to come across one as good as this.....so easy...I can't believe I never came across this one......it is definitely a keeper....the buttery flavor just can't be beat by crisco or butter crisco....you can't duplicate the flavor of REAL BUTTER!!!!!!! The texture was right on...buttery, flaky, rolled out very easily.....delicious......

I've made this crust twice. The first time as written, and the second time following ChibiChef's suggestions. 4 stars as is, 5 with the suggestions. It comes out flaky indeed, but it much easier to work with when the butter/drys are pullsed in the food processor and the water is tossed in with a fork. I rolled it out between 2 sheets of parchment without any issues. Used this on a mocha wanut pie. Delicious.

Loved this recipe! The crust is something I usually leave behind, but with this one there wasn't a crumb remaining!

I just tried this recipe today and I must say that I am impressed! I was skeptical of it only containing butter, BUT it came out flaky and flavorful. I do believe I've found my crust recipe for life! Thank you!

Love this crust! I use it on my meat pies all the time. Keeping it cold is the trick, as other reviewers advised.

I love the buttery taste of this crust. It's convenient for me because I never have shortening on hand. Instead of refrigerating for four hours, I freeze the dough for 20-30 minutes and it rolls out like a dream. Easy to work with, tender and flaky!

I followed the recipe exactly and it produced a flaky, tasty crust for my deep-dish pie, as well as enough extra dough for a couple of extra tarts. I will be using this recipe again!

This crust comes out perfect everytime. You don't have to chill the dough if you don't have time it rolls out just as easy and cooks the same. An easy tip if you don't feel like using a pastry cutter is to use very well chilled butter and grating directly into your flour with a cheese grater(the larger side) then just stir together. It works great.

Great recipe to start from...these are the directions I use though: Combine flour and salt well. Cut cold butter into small chunks. Put butter in freezer for ten minutes, then add to flour mixture. Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Place in freezer for ten minutes. Roll out on wax paper. Press evenly into bottom and sides of 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Poke bottom of crust 2-3 times spaced evenly with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before filling.

Omg!!! this crust is amazing!! I'd added the recipe to my recipe box a long time ago and yesterday gave it a try. It's the flakiest crust ever. Followed the recipe to a T, but I was in a rush and decided to put the dough in the freezer until it was firm. Got amazing results! obviously this one goes now with my favorites! THANK YOU!!!

This recipe was AMAZING! Perfect pie crust recipe, I was looking for a recipe to replace my usual one with shortening, and this one was so flaky. Tasted delicious! Just made sure to keep everything super chilled and icy cold, and it was easy to use. I used leftovers to make little cinnamon cookies and they were delish! Yum!
