I use the same recipe for crust that my mom used. 3 c. flour, 1 c. shortening(my mom always used lard but I can't bring myself to do that so I use crisco) a pinch of baking powder and a t. salt. I use my food processer and ice water. I refrigerate it for about 15 min. and roll it between saran wrap so as not to add flour. Flour will make a tough crust....My pie crust is always flakey and tender....I always put the pan on a cookie sheet to bake....
