Here's a pie crust that really works for me! After making the two, I did freeze one & finished the other to use with a dark chocolate pie recipe I'd tagged! Thanks for an enjoyable crust-making experience ~ I needed that! AND, this recipe is definitely a keeper! [Made & reviewed as my thanks to the photographer in the Help a Camera-less Chef Game #5]

The taste is very good. But I had so much trouble to roll it. I had to add a lot of flour and even with that, it wouldn't roll. So I had to put it in the pie plate with my fingers after trying to roll it about 5 times. Thanks for posting Nimz :) Made for 123 hit wonders.

This is a great crust. Quick and easy to make with a nice flavour and is crisp and tender. What a beautiful start to my apple pie. I'll be making this again often. Thanks so much for sharing ~Nimz~

This crust has great flavor and is very tender. It took me a couple tries to get it right, since it's a soft dough-I overworked it the first time. It really helps to roll it out on waxed paper. I made this for your buttermilk pie; a nice combo! Thanks!
