Here's a pie crust that really works for me! After making the two, I did freeze one & finished the other to use with a dark chocolate pie recipe I'd tagged! Thanks for an enjoyable crust-making experience ~ I needed that! AND, this recipe is definitely a keeper! [Made & reviewed as my thanks to the photographer in the Help a Camera-less Chef Game #5] -
The taste is very good. But I had so much trouble to roll it. I had to add a lot of flour and even with that, it wouldn't roll. So I had to put it in the pie plate with my fingers after trying to roll it about 5 times. Thanks for posting Nimz :) Made for 123 hit wonders. -
This is a great crust. Quick and easy to make with a nice flavour and is crisp and tender. What a beautiful start to my apple pie. I'll be making this again often. Thanks so much for sharing ~Nimz~ -
This crust has great flavor and is very tender. It took me a couple tries to get it right, since it's a soft dough-I overworked it the first time. It really helps to roll it out on waxed paper. I made this for your buttermilk pie; a nice combo! Thanks!

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
