I thought this was a terrific recipe. I didn't use quite 1/4 cup of water, I just put it in a tablespoon at a time until it was the consistancy I thought it should be. This was the first time I've ever attempted to make a pie crust, or even a pie and I found it very simple and it turned out perfect. It was very nice and flaky! I agree with the others, even a Novice can make this crust with no trouble. Just be sure and use plenty of flour as you roll it out, it is just a little sticky, but tastes wonderful!

I used this for a pot pie. I thought it was very easy to make. i let it rest for a good 30 minutes before working with it. It was rather sticky and i had to make sure there was enough flour on the cutting board to keep it from sticking. It had a nice light taste to it. I plan on trying this crust for a thanksgiving pie i'm making.

WOW! This is the best pie crust I have ever made, tasted, seen and felt! I think that novice bakers can make this though. To make a reasonably sweet pie crust though, add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar to the mix. Great pie crust. Will definitely add this to my pie collection! Thanks Dierdree, you have solved all of my problems!

Screw the novice baker warning! I've never made pie crust, and have only recently started baking, and figured it out pretty easy!

This is the recipe that my grandma has used for years. We usually add a pinch of salt, and I like butter flavored shortening. It doubles nicely for a two crust recipe (ie: apple or cherry)

Turns out every time, even doubles well. Sometimes I add a pinch of salt, and sometimes I chill the dough, but it always turns out just fine.

Besides being a pain to make, this crust tastes like nothing but shortning! I won't be using this again.

Only recipe I use now! It's flaky, easy to remember (don't even need the recipe), quick, and easy to make! It's also the recipe I've had the best luck with. TIP: stir and handle the dough as little as possible. After cutting in the shortening, I just form it into a thick patty and use the rolling pin to spread it out into a circle.

Easy to work with. Easy to remember and good flavor. I added approximately a tsp of salt. It did not get very brown. Next time I may brush with milk and sprinkle a little sugar on top (Grandma's trick)

This crust was OK, but the dough was very sticky. I did not use all of the water (maybe half of what was recommended) and still had to add quite a bit more flour while I was trying to roll out and form the pie crust. But for a quick and easy pie crust, this recipe was OK.

Very easy, i added herbs,salt and pepper for a savory tart i made. It didn't need the full 1/4cup of water, so i'm glad i added it a bit at a time.
