Flaky Pie Crust

My sister-in-law gave me this basic pie crust recipe and I use it for a variety of items such as pies, tarts, savory pies and cobblers. When making this crust don't throw the leftover crust away...simply brush with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, place in the oven and bake till slightly brown. A nice little treat for the kids or yourself :).

i had a very difficult time- followed recipe exactly, tried to roll out andkept cracking or splitting around edges, added a couple drops of water- tried again, still same and repeated again. Was a little better but could not roll or flip into pie pan- it fell apart !!!! needless to say- it went in the trashReply
