of all the crusts I have tried to make, they've all ended up in the garbage with a few bad words, but after chilling (I chilled my marble roller too) this rolled well, transfered well and baked well! Needless to say the family is very happy now. I have used this crust for a cherry blueberry pie and it held up to the pie goo amazingly after a day. I have also used this crust for a beef pot pie. Great! Not too sweet at all! Needless to say, this recipe is a keeper! Thank you TJ

I made this in my food processor & it was really easy and a good crust to make. I made it with blueberry pie filling. Thanks!

This was a great crust! I cut the recipe in half and made eight mini-pies in a muffin pan. I did go ahead and use a full egg when halving the recipe. I also used cinnamon sugar instead of regular sugar. Mmm...~!

This crust is great. I've tried a lot of crusts but this crust was great. I loved the ease of making this crust and the fact that it only needs to rest for 10 minutes before you move on with the process. I used this to make a peach pie. I didn't pre-bake the bottom but brushed it with a beaten egg before adding the filling and it stayed flakey during the baking process. I also brushed the top with a beaten egg and it came out shiny and browned to perfection. I will add this to my arsenal of recipes and will definitely use it again.

Excellent. I used it for a cherry pie. I baked the bottom crust for 10 minutes before putting in the filling and baking the rest of the way.

A better crust than my 90-year-old grandmother makes - and she said so. I usually use half shortening and half butter. I roll it out between two sheets of wax paper. Comes out perfect every time.

Quick and easy even for a newbie like me. Although I did use butter instead of shortening, it came out delicious.

This is the best pie crust I have ever come across. People think I’m a super chef when I do the lattice work on top of the pie. I use this all the time when I am baking and it never fails.

This was the first pie crust recipe that I was actually able to make. I am so totally impressed with myself and this recipe. I will try some of the other suggestions next time. For now, i am just happy it worked out right for me!!!

Freakishly easy. I would consider using some butter next time or butter-flavored shortening as it was pretty bland, but a very light crust indeed and very simple!

Excellent crust. My 88 year old mother told me before she took a bite, how much she liked a flaky crust and how hard it was to achieve....well, she was amazed, and loved the pie! Thanks!

I have been afraid to try pastry as previous attempts have yielded tough, chewy, disgusting pastry. This recipe, on the other hand, has me baking tarts and pies with confidence. I don't like vinegar so I substituted lemon juice.

I decided to make my own crust because I couldn't find any at the frozen section at our local store. I am so glad I made that decision because this is the best pie crust - together with grandma ople's apple pie recipe, this was a match made in heaven. I will always use this pie crust from now on.

Used 1/2 butter flavored Crisco and 1/2 butter. If you use 1 teaspoon vinegar PER cup of flour you should get a more tender, less hard (as some have stated)crust. The acid prevents the gluten from developing. Also, chill the crust again after rolling out for a better result.
