I have been searching for the perfect pie crust recipe for years - you name it, I've tried it - all with mediocre results - I was about to give up and decided to try this recipe because of all the great reviews - I'm so glad I did - it was so easy to work with, rolled out beautifully, baked perfectly and held it's shape perfectly even with blind baking. The other thing I like about this recipe is the fact that it's enough for 2 10-inch crusts - many recipes are for 9 inch crusts and all my pie dishes are larger and deeper - so this recipe works great. I did have to add more water than the recipe calls for in order for it to form a "ball" - but the extra water didn't hurt and I added extra flour when I rolled it out. Another great recipe from Ina!

For the last 41+ years I made a pie crust out of the Farm Journal's Complete Pie Book....well.....I'm not sure if it was the Crisco, did they change their formula, or the Gold Medal flour but it was a failure. So I went onto the FoodNetwork site and found this recipe. It is delicious. Tomorrow I will fill it with Lemon Truffle filling and serve my guests a delicious pie. Thank you Ina!!!

I was always nervous about making my own pie crust, everyone always complains about how hard it is to make it come out right. I watched Ina make this recipe, I thought it looked simple enough and tried it. So glad I did! It is perfect, and super simple! I have been using this recipe for all my pies since and I always get great compliments. Ina's recipes always make me look like a pro, even though they are simple enough to follow. Thanks Ina!

This recipe turned out great. I used coconut oil instead of shortening. After measuring the coconut oil, I placed it with the butter in the freezer while I combined the dry ingredients.
