Never Fail Pie Crust

This pie crust was so easy I loved it. I have never made one before. My family also gave it rave reviews. I didn't have shortening so I used butter and substituted half the vinegar with fresh lemon juice. I added more flour while rolling it out until it didn't stick to the rolling pin. I think it was sticky b/c I had to use it right away. The end result was very flaky and worked well for pecan pie.

Sorry about my previous bad review. I have learned a thing or two about baking in a humid climate. I tried this again with half the water and it worked great. I patted one crust in the pan shortly after mixing it and used the rest of the dough after a few hours in the fridge. It rolled out nicely, probably more easily than any other pie crust I've ever tried. My apologies and compliments!

This is the easiest recipe for Pie crust ever! I have been using this for about 10 years with one modification to it. In place of the cider vinegar you can use Lemon juice and the crust is really flaky. Valerie Eveland

I used this to make green chile apple pie and then again for an apple pecan pie. It's very good! It's not overly flaky and it's just moist enough. I will use this one for every pie I make. I actually find it's easier to work with if I don't chill it. I just sprinkle with flour before rolling with a rolling pin. TIP: I lightly cover my pies with foil and then pull them out 15 minutes short of being finished, brush them with egg white and sprinkle Demerara Cane Sugar on the top and let it finish cooking.
