This is the first - and so far only - pie crust I've ever made; I printed it off Martha S's web site about 3 years ago when I was determined to learn to make one, after I saw her demonstrate it on the show. This pie crust turns out buttery & flaky - perfect! -Before I got a food processor, I mixed it with a pastry blender, and it works just as well but just takes longer.

I was out of shortening so I decided to try this pie crust, and I am so glad I did. I used the crust for small chicken pot pies that I made in a Pie Maker. The crust was flakey and tender. It was perfect for a savory pie. I am going to make it again for some small Cherry pies as well. Thank you for posting!

Real delicious and flaky. Buttery and Easy to make too. I did not chill for the 4 hours, I only chilled it for 30 min. and it was still good, but the ingredients were cold as required. I baked in a glass pie dish on top of a cookie sheet. Also the top crust was browning too fast so I covered it with a foil sheet for a bit. I brushed the top with egg whites. I will use this crust recipe always, I wont even bother trying a different one.

This is my favorite roll-out pie crust. However, when I first started making it I was disappointed with the edge because it puffed while baking, making the neat, decorative pinched edge no longer visible. After a few trials, I discovered by accident that refrigerating the completely assembled pie for 30-90 minutes before baking keeps the edge looking neat. Now, I do this every time.

Excellent. I used this for a crust for Chicken Pot Pie. I improvised because I was too lazy to get the food processor out and used my immersion blender instead.I had great results and a light flaky crust. Thanks for posting!

I have the most miserable time making pie crusts here as it's too hot and humid. This turned out so well, was so easy to handle, and was nice and flaky that I won't bother searching for another. Thanks!!

This is by far the best pie crust I've ever made. I used it for chicken pot pies. My husband said the crust was excellent, and he normally would not comment on something like crust. It was tender and flaky, and was almost like a puff pastry. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing.

Easy to make and delicious. I made them to go with Kentucky Chocolate Pecan Pie. It was good, I do think I will like it better with a pot pie. Thanks!
