Thank you for your video. I always wondered why I didn’t have enough pie crust, now I know, I was following other recipes using only 2 cups of flour instead of 3. Thank you so much.
What a wonderful recipe I was going to go out and buy a large bowl to make this crust but I like the idea of the dish bin. Your directions are great and your grandchild’s video is very good. Thank you
Thank you for explaining this very simply. Way easier to learn that way, then if you spent loads of time just talking a lot. :) I really appreciate it! I think I've always been afraid to make pie crust because the process always seemed to overwhelming to me. So happy to find your channel and your easy was of explaining how to do it.
I’m trying to make my late grandma’s infamous Apple pie to surprise my dad for thanksgiving. I never got to try it, as she died before I was born, and the recipe is only half scrawled on some index cards. I already messed up the crust once because it didn’t say to freeze the Crisco. But I’m determined to get it right because supposedly the crust was a really good part of the pie. Thanks for the help.

If you use crisco to fry the pumpkin pieces to make pumpkin fries, how do you apply the crisco to the pumpkin pieces? Is it better to melt it first, or some other way? Its messy to just try to smear it onto the pieces.
Well I'm a male carpenter, and I just found out the exact same thing. I ruined 6 crusts tonight. Didn't chill my crisco. The dough just was way to crumbly. No gluten formed at all. I've always had good luck with lard right from the fridge. Was your crust too crumbly and not rolling out either?
You can generally sub shortening for any butter recipe just follow conversion instructions on the can but it does change the flavor and texture depending on what your making. Thanks for watching the video!
Ok tried this and my pie shell feels like wet sand, not flaky but just dissolves between my fingers? So very disappointed. Any ideas, was it just not baked long enough, the color is pale to light brown I am not a professional and I'm a bachelor lol. Thank you.
Hi Elsa! The ice water really helps keep it cold which makes the dough cook properly but you don’t really have to have it. Thanks for watching the video!!
I just made this and although the dough turned out perfect when I peeled the parchment paper off it completely stuck and came apart. So disappointed but I'll try it again one day
I love the suggestion of measuring & freezing for the next time, awesome, thanks for the share.

Will be making it today.have crisco in freezer already. Zthank you for sharing. I know it will be the best I have ever made.
I haven’t find a more simple recipe here on TH-cam loved it !
I tried the rescipe, like the idea of pre measured , crisco and storing in freezer, time saver,, but I use a mix of crisco and butter, gd tips
Exactly what I needed. Thanks dude.
Best pie crust ever ❤
Very simple way. Thank you.
My grandma used to use this for her apple pies
So close to mom's recipe. Well done.
My grandmother used Crisco for everything. I’m going to try the pie crust
What else would she use crisco for ? Just curious because I as well have a big can and wanna start using it
@@dennysecamacho2861 anything fried! Chicken was the best.
Biscuit , Bread too
I've made like 6 pie crust so far. To use cold vodka instead of water. Kinda works
Some great tips! Only thing; I'd like to have seen it baked up for a pie

Do you prefer Crisco over butter? I have heard from my husband's grandmother that Crisco is THE ONE when making pie crust.
Good idea thanks

Good job
Chris, you need some pie recipes to go with that crust!
Chris just really likes crust.
Thanks a lot Chris.!😀
Did I miss how much Crisco and Flour?
Thanks a Bunch
Hello from Sparta Michigan
3 cups flour, 1 1/4 cup Crisco. Good luck Michelle thanks for checking out my video!
Yes.
Well I just learned why mine doesn't turn out so good. I haven't been chilling my Crisco before using. Nor was I chilling my dough.
Thank you!

How long do I bake it for and what temperature ?
425-450 until golden brown! Good luck!
So cute to hear the lil kid 'you making video?' Lol
I want to make puff pastry with shortening, instead of butter. Is this possible? If it's possible, can you share the recipe?
You can generally sub shortening for any butter recipe just follow conversion instructions on the can but it does change the flavor and texture depending on what your making. Thanks for watching the video!
Thank you, Chris.
👍👍👍👍👍
Hi. Can I use gluten free all purpose flour for this recipe?
Thanks!!!❤
can i use crisco bars? butter and or regular? how much salt? thank you 😊
Yes and Yes. Pinch of salt (1/2 teaspoon) should be good. Thanks for watching!
You measured 2 seperate crisco how much do you actually use ?
Can you do this in a food processor?
Absolutely! Just pulse to combine and then add water. Thanks for watching the video!!!
Very nice
Ok tried this and my pie shell feels like wet sand, not flaky but just dissolves between my fingers? So very disappointed. Any ideas, was it just not baked long enough, the color is pale to light brown I am not a professional and I'm a bachelor lol. Thank you.
Mine too. Do you cook longer? Came out a mushy mess.
Does it have to ice water
Hi Elsa! The ice water really helps keep it cold which makes the dough cook properly but you don’t really have to have it. Thanks for watching the video!!

Baking powder biscuits
Chris! How much water?😳
Usually 5 to 6 tablespoons
So is butter bad for you,crisco makes the best pie crust
