Perfect. Cut in half to make a 2 layer pie! Make sure everything is really ice cold!

5 stars for sure! I cut the recipe in half since I only needed 2 crusts (kind of strange to only use half an egg, but that's what I did) and used 6 tablespoons butter-flavored shortening and 1 stick of butter. My husband thinks this crust is better than his grandmother's, and she's famous for her crusts. Uh-oh...this might make for a very interesting Thanksgiving this year....

I love this recipe. I have never made a pie crust before so I was nervous about it but this is so easy to follow & the pie was delicious. I used cold butter instead of shortening & scaled the recipe down for one single pie crust instead of having several crusts at once since I was making only one pie with a single crust. I made a strawberry meringue pie & it was fabulous. Pre-baking the crust by itself is a must. This is absolutely a keeper.

The flavor was good, and the recipe made plenty, but this was possibly the most difficult crust to handle that I've ever dealt with. It was so moist that I couldn't lift or roll it over the rolling pin to move it. Even adding a good bit of flour didn't help. It would be great for a recipe where you press the dough into a pan or make a free form tart or something, but for pie, it was unmanageable.

This is the first successful pie crust I've ever made! It is so delicious. I used the crust in Apple Pie by Grandma Ople.

Great pie crust! And, so easy. I made them ahead and froze them. They make 3 crusts (so, 1 double crust pie and 1 single crust pie). I made a pear pie with the single crust, and it came out perfectly. I made a steak n ale pie with the double and YUM.

Well, I ventured into my own pastry making today and after reading reviews, I chose this one. And I am SO GLAD! Oh, this turned out amazing! I was a bit concerned when I was mixing it, it still seemed a bit dry, so just a touch more of the cold water made it perfect! I am so pleased! I am so glad for the reviews from all of you, those help so much! Especially for a first timer. Now I can't wait to make another pie! :)
