I have used this recipe since I found it in a home Economics school book back in the mid 1960′s. It’s the best!

tasty and easy. I had great luck rolling out the dough and transferring it to the plates. I will be making this one again.

I read through the original blog post comments and I saw the author of the recipe mention that it was helpful to have all the ingredients cold…and its the truth. It really helped, because the first batch I made was extremely sticky and hard to separate. Also, definitely give it time to thaw…if its crumbling when you try and roll it needs more time to thaw. I found between 10 to 15 worked well.

pie crust intimidates me period. all the horror stories you hear…I was skeptical. After realizing I was trying to roll it out too soon this really was a great simple crust that came out extremely flaky and delicious with my chicken pot pie. Something that really helped was having all the ingredients really cold…all of them, even the flour.

I love this pie crust. I love that it is super flaky and I love how light and airy it is, not too dense like some pie crusts. I am also amazed at how easy this is to make. I’ll never buy pre-made pie crust again. I used this pie crust to make chicken pot pie, and everyone agreed that the crust was delicious.

I need help with this recipe. I’ve tried it three times and each time I get a crust that is amazingly tasty, but just breaks to pieces when I try to lift it from the rolling board to the pie pan.

I used this pie crust for a quiche and it WAS perfect! Loved that I can throw the extra in the freezer. This is my go-to crust from now on. Thanks Sylvia!

I’ve never been able to make pie crust that wasn’t tough. This crust was wonderful!

I’ve always been terrified to make pie because I didn’t know how to make the crust but because of this recipe I don’t have that fear anymore. I’ve made a chicken pot pie as well as a french silk pie using it and both turned out amazing and so tasty. This is so easy and foolproof that anyone could do it. I loved it!
