This was my second try at making a pie crust. I tried a different recipe the first time and this recipe was much better. Flakey and light. I started out making a decorative crust with leaf cutouts for Christmas but ran out of time so the next day I baked it off and used it for a deep dish quiche for a potluck and it was fantastic. I got so many compliments! I melted the lid to my food processor so I had to mix the crust by hand so I froze the butter and used the large holes of a cheese grater. It worked great and make mixing so much easier. I too found non-hydrogenated shortening and the amount of flour was fine for me as I have 10 inch deep dish pie plates but I did find had had to use quite a bit more ice water than the recipe called for

FYI to attiesgirl05 - you can now find trans fat-free shortening in many grocery stores. Butter tends to result in a crisp crust, and shortening adds a bit of flakiness, so it's worth a try if you can find the trans fat-free version in your local market. Also, I agree with you about using only 2.5 cups of flour... Great recipe, especially with the slight reduction in flour.

This is your standard pie crust recipe. I made this-first time ever making crust-and it was super easy and very tasty. I did change a few things-only 2.5 cups flour because i noticed other recipes only calling for that much (plus my pie tins were 9 inches and I used 2 sticks of butter no shortening. Shortening is just death in a tub so I'd rather not use it. Turned out amazing.

Who knew making a crust could be so easy?! I only have a mini-food processor so I halved the recipe. It worked perfectly! This was my first pie ever and now I hope to make more in the future! Thank you, Ina!

This wonderful pie crust recipe is so easy to prepare in the food processor. I make double and even triple batches and freeze portions for future use. Thanks, Ina! Another winner!
