Never-Fail Pie Crust Recipe

Reviewed on Oct. 12, 2009 by echohim99

This was my second time making a pie crust. I used a different recipe the first time and it actually made me not want to make any more pies. Not wanting to discourage myself, I tried this pie crust. It was so good! I rolled it out thin and my Old Fashioned Cream Pie had a nice crisp, flaky crust. It was fairly easy to work with after refridgeration. I recommend giving it a try! Oh, and I was kind of scared about the vinegar, but I couldn't taste it at all. Also, the recipe I used is in the Taste of Home cookbook and differs slighty from this one. I believe it is this recipe but in half.

I tried this recipe using butter crisco and it turned out flaky and delicious.

This is not my recipe but I use cider vinegar in my pie crust.

My grandmother used Spry for baking and had a recipe for pie crust that I use to this day. No other recipe has worked as well for me. It involves using boiling water and shortening, whipped to look like whipped cream, adding a little milk and chilling, then adding the flour and salt. You can roll this and re-roll it and it stays moist and flaky.

Maybe you over worked it.

Mine was nowhere near flakey.
