I made this exactly as written, and it was delicious! It complemented my strawberry pie very well. My previous favorite crust used all shortening - I like the combo of shortening and butter in this one. I followed the submitter's instructions for prebaking, and they were perfect. I was a little worried that I should have used pie weights, but the crust was fine and didn't shrink. Thanks for the submission - this might become my new favorite crust recipe!

I didn't care for this! I followed this recipe exactly and it was the gloppiest, worst mess I've ever made! The crust was terrible. Will never make again!

Made to the exact recipe and was wonderful. Light and flakey. Goes well with any pie filling.

Good crust, nice flaky texture when cooked, worked well with my chicken pot pie.

The Perfect Crust that I've been searching for! Thanks for posting it HoneyBeez!

Not surpising considering the ingredients, the flavor of this crust was very reminiscent of biscuits to me. It was very tender, but I should have held back a bit of the buttermilk...the dough was a bit soft and definitely didn't need the whole amount. I used the food processor, and it came together in a snap. The flavor and texture are very good, and it's a keeper recipe for me. It was a great choice for my turkey pot pie. Next time I'll reverse the butter and shortening amounts.

Super easy to make! Comes out beautifully!

Fabulous crust recipe! Tender, flakey and very easy to handle. I have been searching for this for two years.

I have never made my own pie crust and decided to make it for my chicken pot pie. The recipe itself was easy. I used 1/2 cup of butter and no shortening because I didnt have it. My crust turned out so good. It tasted like a homestyle diner. I did like it for the pot pie but I feel like this crust would make a phenominal dessert pie, especially peach or apple! If you are looking for a pie recipe, look no further, this is it!

I am learning how to make home made pie crust. I made it in the past and did not like how it came out. I came across this recipe. read the reviews and I will admit I was skeptical about using this recipe, having no experience. I put the veg. shortening in the refrigerator to get it cold. I started to use the food processor to mix the ingredients. I would not recommend doing this. It became puree on the bottom of the mixer. I placed the mixture in a bowl then put it the buttermilk and oil mixing it with a fork as explained in the recipe. It was easy to put together. I placed mine in the refrigerator, wrapped in saran wrap over night. It rolled out perfectly! I pre baked my bottom shell. I made a Blackberry pie. Awesome out come. I based my top crust with the buttermilk instead of egg.. It was light and flaky and got big smiles on the faces of the people I shared it with.. I would recommend everyone try this recipe. I give it 5 stars. Thank you for sharing.. And thank you all who sent in your reviews.. It helped me make an informed choice, on a pie crust. I am no longer intimidated by making my own. No More store bought crust for me.. I missed out on this for all these years.. Love it!
