Water-Whip Pie Crust image

Here is another favorite recipe from A Women's Paradise of recipes by the Associated Women For Pepperdine College cookbook that was published in 1962. This pie crust is so quick and easy and very flaky. I have been making it for years and know that once you give it a try then you will love it too!

This recipe is a game-changer! I used to buy pre-made pie crusts, but now I always make my own. It's so much better and it's really not that hard to do.

This pie crust is amazing! It's so easy to make and it tastes like it came from a bakery. I've used it for apple pie, pumpkin pie, and even chicken pot pie. It's always perfect.

So easy and delicious! I'm not much of a baker, but this recipe was a breeze. The crust was flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making this again.
