I’ve been perusing your site for weeks now and I was so excited when I saw that your pie crust recipe is the same as mine. I even got mine from a little old church lady. keep up the awesome recipes and stories

I’ve just stumbled upon this blog while searching for homemade cake mix. I’m off to try this pie crust recipe! We’ve recently started a small farm – veg, fruit, hens and pigs – so I’m reading your blog with great interest!

How simple….wax paper! I never make pie crust because I can not get it off the counter and into the pan…

I think actually putting the link on here would be helpful, don’t you? :p http://dyessfamchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/02/few-tidbits.html

I LOVE this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing. I tried it out on a pie yesterday and my-oh-my that’s a lovely crust! Here’s the link to my post about it along with a few pics of the “masterpiece”.

To Lisa, I have tried a butter recipe and it is not as flaky.

Hi, Lisa. Honestly, I don’t know at all because I’ve never done it with butter. The best thing I can think of is to start a topic thread in the forum and ask–maybe somebody there has tried it that way and would know!

Do you think anything bad would happen if I used butter instead of shortening? I’m in charge of the pumpkin pie this year and I want an exceptional crust. This is my first year in the family, and I don’t want to be known as “Jesse’s wife who brought that crappy pie to Thanksgiving.”

I am anxious to try this recipe as it sounds like my late mom’s. I tried to make my MIL’s piecrust this past weekend and nearly lost my religion!!! It stuck and peeled and ect. – the lard/flour kind…so I want to try this and on the waxed paper – I know it’ll be alot easier, plus, I now have a new pastry blender – I was using two knives, because i got rid of my mother’s old pastry cutter – dumb.

Yes, in fact I’m planning to do a scalloped corn post sometime in the next few weeks (before Thanksgiving)!
