Default Pie crust

It's very flaky, and can stand more overworking than most, which is important for any piecrust I'm going to make.

OMG!!!! This is the EXACT way I make my pie crust!!! My favorite Aunt that passed away taught it to me years ago, and it's the only way I've ever made pie crust. Even down to using the spatula to help put it into the plate and folding the edges under. I call it my secret as I won't give it out and people call it award winning. Cool to see it on the board! I recommend it, but you do have to handle it carefully when putting it into the plate. Never any problems with baking or soggy bottoms either!
