    Thank you, AB! This is the greatest pie crust ever. Easy to make, easy to roll out and easy to work with. Flaky, golden brown and delicious. I use this recipe for fruit pies and just leave out the sugar for savory pies.

    I loved using the food processor and thought everything was really easy. I didn't have lard, so I used Crisco instead. I followed the recipe and was rewarded with very flaky crust for our pumpkin pie. Since we were baking our pie, I didn't prebake the crust with the beans. Next time I'd probably use more butter and less Crisco since it was a little too flaky for me. However considering it was the first time I had ever made pie dough- absolutely awesome and is close to my grandma's!

    Made a lot of pies in my 63 years...but this was a disaster...tasted like lard..where is that butter taste...crumbled not crisp...I don't know what I did wrong ...I usually just make pie with a crust cutter...I used the food processor for this as the recipe stated...I reviewed the recipe can't see what I could have done wrong....roll out was horrid too...I could have put up with all the bother...if it had tasted better than the name brand already rolled out variety that starts with P. the taste is just plain horrid.

    I know lemon meringue pie isn't Thanksgiving-like, but I made Alton's lemon pie using this crust recipe. Being waaaaay overtired, husband and kids in bed, I attempted this pie at about 2 a.m. the day of Thanksgiving (with my trusty Dachshund at my side. I rolled it out all caty-wompus and had to piece together the dough in the pie shell. I was sure I had ruined it from "overhandling," but NOOOOOOO. It was perfect, Alton. Flavorful, flaky, perfectly golden and tender. I've read some other pie reviews where folks said NEVER to use a food processor for pie crust. Well I did use the processor and it couldn't have been easier or the outcome more perfect. Thank you so much!

    I use this recipe every year for my holiday pies. The crust stays flaky and crisp. It's a bit of work, but worth the time and effort.

    I had a problem with the parchment paper sticking to the crust when i pulled it out to take the beans out. i tried to follow the recipe closely and i am disappointed that my crust was ruined.
