This crust recipe was just ok. I dont like having to wait overnight to make my pie. I like pie crusts that only need to be refridgerated for an hour or so. Coming out of the fridge it was really hard and I had to roll it in my hands until it got softer; but the consistency was kind of crumbly

My first time ever making pies, I used this recipe to make five double-crust apple pies and four pecan pies. They came out great, even though I messed up the first two crusts trying to roll them out between two pieces of wax paper. The rest rolled out beautifully on a floured tabletop. I used lard for the shortening. The crust was so flaky.
