Favorite Pie Crust image

The pick of the lot! This recipe was given to me many years ago by a nun who was a chef. She willingly gave me her recipe and needless to say I have never bought a pie since I got this recipe. It is never fail. The recipe is also in the company's coming cookbook---Pies. NOTE:Use this pastry for quiches, meat pies,turnovers,sausage rolls,or even small rounds.

Not a fan of this recipe. The crust was dry and crumbly.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a very experienced baker, but it turned out great! The crust was perfect and the pie was a hit with my family and friends.
