I have tried the recipe that uses basically just flour, shortening and water. This seems just as flaky and tasty and it is so much easier to work with!

    This was my first attempt at making pie crust...it turned out beautiful, light, and flaky and tasted great also! I will be using this recipe from now on. (Just a thought...you might want to change "Celsius" in step 2 to cup and "vinegar" in step 3 to vanila.) I used this recipe in Iron Skillet Apple Pie.
