  1. I've made this pie crust several times now and will keep using it. I substituted unflavored COCONUT MILK for the milk and it came out great. I rolled the dough between two sheets of non-stick parchment paper and had no trouble. I didn't even have to refrigerate the dough first. It was quick and easy.
     
  2. I have used this recipe many times, and just now remembered to review it! Love it, but we cut the salt. I never take the time to chill and roll; just pat in the pan for a nice bottom crust. Thanks.
     
  3. Worked out great! Although I used olive oil...will use this recipe again for when I make Chicken Pot Pie.
     
  4. Great, didn't change a thing. I used the chill and roll b/t two sheets of cling wrap and it rolled out perfect! The pickiest eater in my family couldn't stop talking about this crust. :)
     
  5. I made this with soy milk because I can't drink regular milk. I didn't have any problems rolling it out after refrigerating the dough for an hour. This crust is more brittle than ones made with shortening or butter and reminds me of a very light shortbread.

  2. This was really an amazing crust. No, it's not your typical butter-flaky crust, but it was quite good. I used 1/2 whole wheat flour, and 1/2 white flour, plus I added 1 T vinegar for flavor. I did have to add quite a bit more milk, and rolled it between wax papers, but it was pretty easy to work with. I made Recipezaar #45070 Pot Pie, but used beef instead of turkey , and it was awesome!! Thanks for the healthy recipe.
     
  3. Worked Great! Easy, fast and tasty. I cannot ask for a better recipe than this. It's almost as easy as frozen pie crusts, only I don't have to remember to buy a box keep in the freezer. I divided the dough into two parts. Rolled each into a ball, put each ball between parchment paper and rolled out. Great recipe. The second time I made this I substituted the flour with King Arthur's White Whole Wheat flour and it tasted great. Kind of nutty. However, the dough was more difficult to work with. Next time I may just do half four and half whole wheat flour. Thank you.
