This recipe is like a recipe I found years ago, called French Pie Crust. It is so easy, tasty and very flakey. I use white vinegar. This dough is also very forgiving, as I think I might handle too much, but this crust seems not be effected by too much handling and rolling, etc. I recommend it to everyone who is interested in making a good homemade crust!

Excellent crust which was very flakey and worked very well with my Turkey Pot Pie. I was able to make two 10-inch double crusted pies. I made it in the morning and rolled it out in time for dinner. Brushed the crust with an egg yolk and it was shiney and beautiful. Thanks for this wonderful pie cust, this will be my favorite!!!
