I have used this recipe for many years and it is the easiest dough to handle. I had to find a way to make pies since the MIL made pies almost every week and I needed to compete.
Hi, I have just made 4 pie crusts, I love this recipe, easy to handle. It does not break in pieces. It's so good. I use this for quiche, and lemon pie. Thanks again for sharing . I really like this recipe.
I have never been able to master a homemade pie crust until your video! Omg my pumpkin pie was amazing and even the bottom of the crust was flaky thanks to your tip of baking on the lower shelf. Thanks so much for this vlog! Love your channel!
OMG! I rarely comment on YT vids BUT I had to let you know how amazing this recipe is! I have failed many many times over the years. Being from South Louisiana we like to put many things between a pie shell. I usually bought store bought pie shells when I try new recipe, just in case, but for Christmas I did NOT! I made 2 sweet potatoes pies and 2 pecan pies and OMG! My husband was telling everyone about my new pie crust recipe and requesting that I share it with other! Thank you! Such a fabulous recipe. Currently making a chicken pot pie. Made the recipe without butter. I can see we are all gonna be a bit heavier after the holidays LOL. Thank you again!
thank you carol for explain why you add this ingredients. I have made the crisco pie crust recipe for years but never got that tenderness I experienced in other's pie crusts. I'm going to make this recipe this year, I've never heard those glorious words from my family "It's as good as grandma's." Maybe this year.
I’m pretty comfortable in the kitchen and love to cook. Ran a commercial kitchen for 13 years and had my own catering business for 1-2 years but pie crust is something I’ve never been able to master! Tried again last week for my family thanksgiving and the recipe I used was not that great ( can’t remember if it was Betty Crocker or better homes and gardens) but my crust was pretty tough and not easy to work with at all. For sure going to write this one down and add it to my recipe binder! Thank you for sharing 😃
I'm so happy I found your channel!! You give such clear, concise information! I grew up baking in the kitchen with my Grandma, and she could throw down like no other ❤ But when it came to her pie crust.....ohhh weeee....she would curse it left and right when it didn't come out right. So it intimidated me to even try to make. Surely if she couldn't make it, I wasn't going to be able to either, right. Your recipe looks so simple. I will be trying this on Sunday!! Wish me luck 🤞 Any tips on blind baking? Is it necessary for things like pumpkin pie or top and bottom pot pies? Thank you for sharing!! I sure do appreciate ya ❤
Could you blend the butter and shortening with flour in a food processor? I have the hottest hands and problems with using my arm because of arthritis.
Do you have any idea how much buttermilk powder? I have found A gem in you. I am 72, been told I am a good cook and baker but have never mastered the pie crust. I love your site.
@Carol Can you tell me the difference. Which would you have if you could only afford one? Sorry to bother you, but 2 are on a quick buy. I sent this to myself by mistake.
Well I had a fail with this piecrust. I made the dough and split it into three separate pieces and placed the disks in the refrigerator. I took one out an hour later and blind baked it for a pumpkin pie and it came out beautiful. I froze the pie crust before I baked it. I took a second disk out of the refrigerator this morning, rolled it out and placed in the freezer for 30 minutes before blind baking. The edge of the crust fell off onto the baking sheet and there were puddles of butter in the bottom of the crust. It was the same dough I baked yesterday that came out beautiful. I don't know what happened to the pie dough between yesterday and today. It didn't get wet or moist. Any answers?
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 I don’t understand why it worked for the one crust on the same day I made it but not the one I rolled out the next day?? It was the same dough. Doesn’t make sense.
This recipe did not work for me... I have not even been able to roll it out without it breaking apart... wondering if the ingredients are not listed properly. Sad I wasted all those ingredients

I love how you so confidently say "if it tears no worry" and keep on going!

Love this video and the heads up on a great book. I feel like I can finally try to make a pie crust.
Appreciate the video. Thank you. I’m learning a lot of techniques from these videos. 😎

This recipe is not good.
I have used this receipt for several years. I will use the butter Crisco combination. I'm ordering the companion book.
I love this book!
Excellent instructions! I am going to save this video! Hugs Carol ❤️
Thank you, Carol, for a great recipe.

There are different schools of thought on pre-baking. I never do. I always bake my pies on the bottom rack and never have a problem 😊
Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you So much!
Hi can I use a food processor to make the pie crust thank you for helping us with these recipes tutorials videos
Yes
Thank you
Can you use lard instead of shortening?
Yes
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231do you use the same amount of lard as shortening?
Are you pre baking or just throw it in with filling
If so how long and what temp
I do not pre-bake
What temp and how long do you cook crust before using for cream pies?
400 until golden brown
Could you blend the butter and shortening with flour in a food processor?
I have the hottest hands and problems with using my arm because of arthritis.
Yes
May I ask what version you have of the KA book? I have the newer book and I do not see that recipe in there.
The recipe is mine. I just used the book in reference to the tips for making pie crust 😊
Hi, great recipe! Just one question you mentioned freezing it and I just wanted to double check on that. It’s okay to freeze it?
Yes. Just wrap well
Do you have any idea how much buttermilk powder? I have found
A gem in you. I am 72, been told I am a good cook and baker but have never mastered the pie crust. I love your site.
1-2T… thank you for the compliment 😍
@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thanks, may I ask have you used buttermilk powder? I am a little scared! Pie crust really intimates me! Sorry
I want to buy this book is the revised edition what you have?
I have both 😊
@Carol Can you tell me the difference. Which would you have if you could only afford one? Sorry to bother you, but 2 are on a quick buy. I sent this to myself by mistake.

Do you prebake it before adding the filling or does that depend on the filling?
Depends on the pie 😊
Do you have a good recipe for chocolate pie?
I don’t have a video for it yet
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 I look forward to seeing it.
Are you using the recipe from the KAF Baker’s Companion?
No
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thanks
Have you ever tried to freeze this? I'll be making 2 pies and would freeze the extra if that would work.
Yes! Freezes beautifully
👍👍👍
I’ve never bought shortening before. What do I look for? 😬😬😬
Crisco 😁
♥️♥️♥️
I've tried so many no fail pie crust recipes and they've all failed. I've gone back to store bought.
Sorry to hear that but don’t give up
This recipe did not work for me... I have not even been able to roll it out without it breaking apart... wondering if the ingredients are not listed properly. Sad I wasted all those ingredients
I’m sorry thus didn’t work for you but all of the ingredients are listed correctly.
