My mother's recipe was similar but only had 1 c. shortening which would lower the fat content. I keep back about 1 T. water to add (if needed) to the crumbs left in the bottom of the bowl. This recipe makes 3 crusts with scraps left to bake topped with a little cinnamon & sugar for a snack right away.

Always use Butter Flavor Crisco and you will wow everyone with this buttery flaky crust which turns out perfect every time.

This is a good flaky pie crust but too greasy, and there wasn't really enough dough for two double crust pies. Next time I will add an additional cup of flour and maybe a little more water as needed. I like a little butter in my pie crust so I used 1 cup of shortening plus 1/2 cup of butter.

I gave this recipe every benefit of the doubt. Made it three times and all three times it fell apart-the dough was sticky and wet and never came together. I made it with very cold shortening-the second time I made it with very cold butter, I left it in the fridge over night, I left it in the fridge for a few hours, I tried everything-but this is an all fail pie recipe to me.

This pie crust is exactly what it says....never fail! I use it all the time when I make pies. It rolls out so nice without even having to chill it! Love it!

There was something about using the vinegar and then allowing the dough to refrigerate overnight that it rolled out easier than any other crust I have tried. I believe the acidity improves the dough's ease of rolling out.

This is the ultimate pie shell recipe. I have used this recipe for my chicken pot pie recipe for fifteen years and it turns out everytime. A true family favorite and loved by family and guests alike. Easy peasy lemon squeezy and yum delicious... enjoy

My aunt actually found this recipe from a friend and then I found it on here. It is the best, the only thing we change is that we use butter flavored shortening.
