Decrease salt to 1/2 tsp. Nice and flakey. Good flavor. A keeper.

I have never been able to make a pie crust in all my 55 years that actually turned out. This one is a winner. It has turned out perfectly every time. I've used it with chocolate cream pies, chocolate chip cookie pies, pumpkin pies and a strawberry pie (which flopped and the filling instead of setting up turned to liquid). This pie crust stays flaky and never has become soggy in all my attempts. I purchased some 8 1/4 inch deep dish aluminum pie tins at Dollar General - and 2 recipes will make crusts for 5 of these. Using my Mom's old glass pie pans, getting 2 is a stretch, they'll be super thin. Leftover dough gets rolled out, cut and sprinkled with sugar and baked. Great little treat. Thanks for the recipe! I now am the pie crust maker for myself and my 81 year old aunt. I feel honored.

Super simple. My mom is jealous: she can't get hers to turn out as well as this one did.

The hubby loved it, but i felt it was to salty. Next time i will cut out the salt all together. BUT i gave it 4 stars because the bottom wasn't soggy and i was even able to warm it up the next day!

Good pie crust recipe. Make sure the shortening is cold and use ice water. If the crust turned out tough that means you overworked it.

Great recipe! (I used it for Apple Pie.) Not having sugar in the crust was a nice balance to the sugary applie pie! Normally I buy premade crust at the store. But my husband (an apple pie connoisseur) likes this much better than store bought. It would be perfect for a quiche too! This recipe is a keeper.

Bravo! I had a failed attempt at one of the other pie crust recipes and this recipe came to my rescue! I liked the idea of not having to chill for 4 hours. When I want pie, I want it now, not 4 hours from now! :) The crust was perfect and flakey. I would definitely reccomend an egg wash prior to baking.

I'm not as pleased as I'd hoped with this recipe. The crust was not flaky, but rather tough. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I'll keep trying.

Great texture, very flaky yet it maintains it's shape. I love it. I may have added double the amount of water by mistake, but still came out great. Actually it was really easy to roll out and didn't get crumbly. I also used organic seasalt.
