Perfect flaky crust. I used it for my hand-held sweet potato pies and the were flaky and crisp like any good crust should be.

this is truly the perfect pie crust. Fool proof every time i make it (mostly apple pie or pumpkin. I use the cheese grater to grate my frozen butter into the recipe. Gives me the perfect small pieces.

Perfect. What makes this even better is if you have all of your ingredients really cold. I put everything in the freezer including my flour and my food processor blade. I think I got that tip from Martha Stewart, but it gives you a wonderful flakey crust. Of course with the butter added it is buttery too. I love it. You should put ice cubes in your water and measure and then measure it so that your water is ice cold. I have a pie maker which is a plastic bag that you put the pie crust in and then roll it so that it doesn't stick. However, you could put the pie crust in between two pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap to make rolling easier. Don't forget to let your dough rest before you use it.

It really is the perfect pie crust. Flaky, but not dry. Just perfect.

I'm not sure what to say about this recipe- I made it twice following the instructions exactly. The first time, it came out fantastic- light, buttery, flaky and delicious. The second time (which unfortunately was Thanksgiving where I was providing the pies for all my friends and family it came out gummy and tough. The pies were still a big hit, but everyone could tell the difference. I will probably just stick with the Joy of Cooking pie crust recipe I've been using for the last 10 years from now on.

So, so easy to make. Used extra butter instead of shortening and it turned out fine.
