The best pie crust I have ever tasted.  I know people have strong feelings about their own pie crust.  I sure do.  To be honest, I am not a big fan of pie crust in general.  I do love pie, just not the crust left at the end.  However, if I am going to eat pie crust, it has to be this one.  It is the only recipe I use, it was my mom’s and probably her mom’s.  It is super easy to make and work with, no special instructions, just put all the ingredients in the mixer and combine.  Done!

P.S.  I also use this pie crusts for quiche.
