"Excellent recipe. I followed it exactly. I felt like adding more water but didn't. It came out great! I made a pumpkin and strawberry pie. I may use less sugar next time since the pie is already so sweet." - chrisad

    Excellent recipe. I followed it exactly. I felt like adding more water but didn't. It came out great! I made a pumpkin and strawberry pie. I may use less sugar next time since the pie is already so sweet.

    I used this crust for a chicken pot pie and it was amazing. I didn't add the sugar, and it was flaky and buttery delicious. I did need a few extra tablespoons of water though, just to pull it together.

    I have even used this with my mixes of gluten free flour, and it works. However, the gluten free flour falls apart easily while shaping it.

    Excellent recipe! Very flaky and buttery! I don't like ready made pie shells, sobthis is perfect! I used it for pumpkin pie and it was great!

    Awesome and simple. First try and it was a Thanksgiving day hit with pumpkin pie. I would only change by reducing or omitting salt, since I used salted butter.
