wow that does sound easy…I may have to try it…have you ever used whole grain flour instead of the white?
No, I haven’t tried that – great idea!
That’s so easy, I’m actually afraid of all the pies I’m going to have to make now 🙂
I always look for shortcuts! This really is the easiest way to do it. And nothing tastes better than homemade. 🙂
Kate,
You would be proof that it is truly good to be good … and what could be better than a buttery crust to wrap an imagination around! Thanks.
Thank you! I love this crust – in fact, everyone that has tried my pies first complimented the crust and then the rest.
that’s a picture perfect pie!
Thanks! It tastes just as good as it looks…I promise!
Oh my..that pie looks fantastic!
