1. Did a half and half butter to shortening for a bit more flavor. Great crust!

2. Great simple recipe for flawless flakey pie crust. Have made this several times and have used butter with great success. Delicious! Remember, the standard recipe is for 2 pie crusts or a double pie crust, so if making one open pie, half the recipe.

3. I am giving this five stars! I started to make my apple pie and got to where I was ready to put my pillsbury crust into my pan and put all my filling in the crust but when I got my box of crust out I realized there was only one crust and not two! I was frantic because my apple pie is so tedious to make and I had already spent so long to get it this far and it was well past 9 oclock at night and i couldn't just run to the store with my kids asleep so i was looking for a quick recipe with ingredients that I had especially butter instead of shortening and I found this one! It was easy and quick with little ingredients that it took my five minutes to get it done, cut it and lattice it over my pie! I baked my pie and I was worried about the crust since I always use premade but it came out great! The edges didn't burn and it was such a pretty golden brown even though I cooked it for 45 minutes! Its nice and crunchy. I followed the directions to a T except that I didnt have a pastry cutter so I took my mixer and mixed the butter and flour in short spurts until it was crumbly then I added the water and mixed with my hands. It was perfect Thx!!!!

4. This is the perfect pie crust...I've used it many times. I use butter every time (shortening is full of trans fats and is terrible for you) and make it in my KitchenAid mixer. Works like a charm! Thanks!

5. One of the easiest pie crust recipes i have come across. I love how easy the dough is to work with, and it always turns out so flaky!

1. I have shied away from pie crusts. Since I dislike using pre-made or mix type products, I don't bake a lot of pies. So last weekend I didn't have the required refrigerated, premade crusts, and used this recipe. In the food processor. and have since made 2 more pies. OMG I am never buying another store bought crust again. Mix the dry ingredients in the FP, then add the shortening (I've only tried this with Crisco, butter flavoured) and then the water. I also tried milk instead of water--didn't notice a big difference. This is a tender and flaky crust. Everyone thinks I am a culinary goddess because of these pies. thanks for posting it!

3. I added 1t of apple cider vinegar and 1T of white sugar. Very easy to work with, I used my food processor and pulses it. Adding ice water slowly.
