I have been searching for a good pie crust recipe for ages and I am happy to say my search is over!!!! This is a great recipe and so easy to put together with ingredients I usually have on hand. Just be sure to use unsalted butter, as recommended. It will be a bit salty otherwise. I also used the food processor to mix the dry ingredients and then pulsed in the butter and then the shortening. I only needed 5 T water.

The only thing I changed was to use Vodka (I keep the bottle in the freezer as the crust doesn't shrink as much. The whole family decided this was the flakiest crust I've ever made (and it was certainly the easiest!.

Wow!! This pie crust is AWESOME!!! Surprisingly, it is WAY better than the other recipes that call for 12 tablespoons of butter! I made it in the food processor and it came out fabulous. I will be making this my Go To pie crust recipe. Thank you Aida!! :

About as good as a pie crust can get, I'd say. I doubled the recipe to do a lattice cherry pie. It was a bit much, but no prob--it's good enough I sprinkled some cinnamon sugar on cookie-sized leftovers and popped them in at 425 for 12 min, and they were a great snack.

I also subbed lard for the shortening to avoid the partially hydrogenated oils in the shortening.

Great flaky piecrust! Just a suggestion, do not overbake crust because it will still be flaky but
a little dry and tough if you overbake.

I used my food processor to make this recipe and it was hands down the BEST pie crust I have ever had! I used this for Thanksgiving for all of my pies and they all turned out amazing. I could have eaten the crust alone! I will never make another pie cruse recipe again! Perfect ratio of shortening and butter.
