Jackie, thank you so much for posting this pie crust. I've tried many pie crust but this is the best one of all. This will be now my official pie crust. THANK YOU. :)

I must admit, making pie crust isn't my strong point. However I prod on because my husband loves his pie. I only need a single crust, now that it's just the 2 of us. This recipe is perfect and it allows me to use my food processor to boot. Easy to make and very flaky. It's a keeper. :)
