I used tenderflake shortening. I divided it in 2 balls. I'm glad I did cause it was perfect for the apple pie I made. 3 balls of it would have not been enough for a pie. I like the flakiness of the crust. It was very easy to roll. I didn't have problem with it. Thanks Charlotte :) Made for PAC Fall 2011

I have never made pie crust before. This was super easy! It worked wonderfully. I did add almost a cup of flour because it was pretty sticky and on my Tenderflake package the recipe called for a 3:1 ratio flour to lard. I made a lemon meringue pie and a quiche lorraine and the crust works beautifully with both of them! Thank you Charlotte! i don't know where the bad ratings came from. The only complaint was from my boyfriend who didn't like how it tasted raw.. lol!
