    This was good! I had alittle bit of trouble baking it and after about 15 minutes, there we a whole lot of bubbles so I took it out of the oven.(It could have been me who caused that, I am new to making pies) I also used Butterscotch Pie Butterscotch Pie for the filling! Thanks for the recipe!

    Used this for Evelyn's own Squash, Apple and Onion Tart (#61126). Very easy to make--indeed, I just used my hands, threw it in the fridge and rolled it out. No fuss, not very much muss, and very tasty (the dough is--I haven't actually cooked it since I froze the tart for later cooking.) thanks for another terrific recipe, evelyn!!

    I had a little trouble with this recipe, even without the water the dough was too soft, so i didn't bother to knead it and just pressed it into the pan and stuck it into the fridge. It could just be that it was a really hot and humid day here. It still tasted great though. Thanks!
