  1. I have used this recipe for years as our regular pie crust. It is easy and tastes great. This is the one my mom taught me when I was learning how to make pies as a child by her side.
     
  2. Very easy and great tasting. Will use this as my regular next time. I liked that you didn't have any chilling time required and it was easy to roll too.
     
  3. I think this is the first pie crust I have made that had egg in it. Flaky crust. I used this crust to make your Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie #7553. Thanks Coffeemom. Bullwinkle.
     
  4. Wow - this is a great pie crust! I used it for peach pie. I was surprised there was no sugar in the dry ingredients, but I made it as written. It was the bomb. Easy to roll! Bu-yah, coffeemom!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a full-time student at a University of Wisconsin campus, with a double major in Sociology and History. I have three adorable children, ages 9 yrs, 5 yrs, and our 2 yr old son. My nine yr old is in third grade. My 5 yr old is is in kindergarten. My littlest one is pleasantly plump. ;) We also have 2 cats. My daughter recently joined recipezaar under the name Miss Bean I also really like sewing. I make @ 1/3 of my daughters clothes. Reading is also a BIG staple in my life. One of my favorite ways to find a book is to walk into the library, pick a shelf and simply grab a book at random. I've read so many great books I probably wouldn't have found out any other way. I also like to camp and fish with my DH. He eats, sleeps and breathes fishing. He would like to one day start his own company, he hand ties and sells fishing lures locally. And he loves my cooking and will try anything at least once. ;) He works as a pressman at a local printing company. <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v426/mangomama/animations/?action=view&current=neil_patrick_Harris.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v426/mangomama/animations/neil_patrick_Harris.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
