This is the best pie crust I have ever tasted. It was so quick and easy too. (I used butter instead of Crisco.)

I love this pie crust recipe! It is very easy to make and came out great. I chill it for a couple of hours, covering it with a damp towel, then fill it and bake right away, and it comes out perfect!

Keep all ingredients cold. Dough can be made in advance and chilled until ready. Bake crust anytime you add a wet filling, such as pumpkin pie, to keep crust from getting soggy. [I posted this recipe.]
