Evelyn - I can't believe I never posted a review of this crust. I have become a very good baker (she said shyly) and ever since trying this recipe about two years ago, it is the only one I use AND I have given it to many people. I absolutely love this pie crust. Note the date, I am making a delicious pumpkin pie for my son - Merry Christmas to you and your family.

This was a very good pie crust. Easy to work with and came out light and flaky, just the way we like it. Thanks

Over the weekend, made your banana cream pie in almond crust and a coconut cream pie using this crust recipe. I have a never ending quest for the perfect flaky pie crust and although this one was good, it was not as flaky as I would have liked. It was very easy to work with,however. Thanks, evelyn.
