I always use the refrigerated Pillsbury pie crusts. Even my grandmother( who used to always make her own) uses them now. They taste great.

Yes, they are wonderful. Save a lot of time and taste great too.

I've used these for years. I didn't know they still made frozen crusts.

jaxs mom,

<p style="line-height: 19px; margin: 12px 0px; word-wrap: break-word; outline: none; letter-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; zoom: 1; font-size: 14px;"> would you mind providing the directions for your grandmother's pie crust recipe that you posted (#11)? The butter used in it appeals to me. Thanks!

It's just standard pie crust directions. Cut the cold fat into the dry ingredients and then slowly add the liquids until the dough just comes together. This recipe makes two crusts, so separate into two pieces and wrap each in plastic wrap and let chill for 45 minutes and then roll out.

THanks, jaxs mom! I'Ve neVer made a pie Crust before and your reCipe Has inspired me to try it. For some Crazy reason, I'm unable to type Certain letters in lower Case???????

This recipe is very similar to mine, except that I make mine in my food processor. Have been doing this for years and it's so simple. I then roll in out on a silicone pie crust sheet.

2 cups flour

3/4c frozen shortening....I use butter

Approx 5-8 TBSP ice water

1 tsp salt

Add flour, shortening and salt. Process at high speed until the mixture resembles cornmeal.

Processing at high speed, slowly add water through the chute until a ball forms.

Divide in half. Makes (2) 9 or 10 inch pie shells.
