This is a delicious crust. It is not as flaky as most crusts, but the flavor makes up for that. I am almost wondering if this should make two crusts because it seemed pretty thick. I did bake mine for the 10 minutes before adding the feeling and the butter really started to melt. I think I might try getting two crusts out of this next time. I filled this crust with "Recipe#182080".

This crust was delicious. I made a pumpkin pie. It was so good. This crust gave the pumpkin pie mixture a whole new taste. I will be making this crust again.
