Excellent recipe! I made this as a topping to a chicken pot pie #10744 recipe. It was perfect and flaky. Can't wait to make an apple pie with it! Thanks -
excellent recipe. This was my very first dough/pie making experience and it went well. I substituted and used fresh squeezed lemon juice. -
Tastes good & needed at least a 3 hour chill time because of the tearing. I did not have enough crust to make edges because if I rolled it any thinner it tore more even after chilling it. -
Was perfect with "Best Ever Pumpkin Pie" #28758. Made full recipe for deep dish and cut away excess crust. Put the dough disc in the fridge the night before and rolled the next morning. So easy! Thanks! -
Simple for someone like me who doesnt know anything, and great taste...I tried it with an orange meringue recipe and the crust was excellent even if I did mess up the filling! Will definitely use again :-)
