This pie crust is amazing! I want to bake pie all the time, just so I can use this recipe. I am not very good at rolling out the crust, but that's just my own folly, I assume. Delicious!

I've made versions with butter and shortening, and they are both good!

I've used the shortening version of this recipe for years - it's perhaps a little more flaky but this butter version FAR surpasses it in flavor. You can fail with this recipe - in fact the "never fail" ones are the hardest pie crust recipes I've ever worked with. I think they are "never fail" because they never fail to taste great not because they are easy. The secret is to make sure you blend the butter well with the flour, get just the right amount of liquid and chill this dough for at least 30 minutes.

Excellent! Loved this recipe, used twice today, made a blue and blackberry pie as well as a chicken pot pie. This shows the diversity of this excellent pie crust!! I was especially happy that I found one that didn't use shortening (I forgot to pick it up and didnt want to run back to the store). It came out wonderful for each pie that I made and I will definitely be using it again! Thank you so much for the recipe!

OH MY GOODNESS! I love to cook and bake and have NEVER EVER made a good crust before, until today! I divided the recipe by 4 to make just a single crust (even measured the gram weight of the egg in order to get the right amt.) and it was AWESOME! I used the crust for the Sugar Cream Pie I recipe on this site. It too was amazing! THIS IS MY NEW CRUST RECIPE!!! FOREVER AND EVER!!!...me again...made this tonite for Irish Beef Handpies...WONDERFUL!!!!!!

I decided on a four because in the end it did come out allright. I had a hard time mixing in the water, I had really wet clumps and then dry crumbly parts. Maybe I'm just not very good at making pie crusts. It really did come out okay in the end so I may come back to this one after I try a few others.

Delicious, but doesn't quite stretch to cover a 9" round pan as promised. But very easy to make and use. I would agree with the "no fail" part as I don't do much baking.

I love this site, but I did not care for this recipe and I just had to comment. I KNEW it had too much butter in it, but I made it anyway. Sure enough, I had a sticky, globby mess that wouldn't roll out. I had to piece it together to get it into the pie plate. After 10 minutes in the oven, the crust had pulled away from the sides of the pan, and it was scrunched in the bottom of the pan with butter sizzling all around it! This should be called "sure-fail pie crust"!

This worked even when I substituted whole wheat flour! Halving the recipe made enough for 4 double crust pot pie crusts.

This is the first time I've ever attempted any kind of homemade pastry. I made the dough and then rolled it in four balls and chilled them. Once I got ready to use them, I had a hard time rolling it out, so I ended up just pressing it into the pie pan. Then I realized I'd have to somehow put a crust on top of the pie. So I rolled it as best as I could and kind of pieced it together on top. It didn't turn out pretty, by any means. However, it had a good taste. Maybe a tad dry, but still as good as or better than the pre-made ones.

This crust was a total failure for me, and I am an experienced baker. I believe the ratio of flour to butter is off, with way too much butter, because the dough was pulling together before I even added the egg and other liquid. It turned into a sticky mess that I had to scrape off the pie mat. Couldn't even get it into the pie plate. I'm going back to the tried and true Betty Crocker recipe!

No matter what I put in this crust--quiche, peach pie, chicken pot pie--the crust is the best part! I've always thought making pie crusts from scratch was a hit-or-miss kind of thing, but this really was "no fail," and it helps that it tastes like any good pie crust should taste: light and fluffy, perfectly flaky and buttery! MM! Now I'm looking for excuses to put SOMETHING in one of these wonderful crusts!
