perfect pie crust

This is a super easy Pie Crust & Oh so flaky and tasty too! For years, I've been making my pie crust with shortening, flour , salt & water, using my handy dandy pastry blender. Found a great recipe in a book I checked out from the library. Never again will my crusts be I made the same old way! I first tried this recipe when making a Chicken Pot Pie (which I had never made before), and we liked it so much, that I now use it when making all of my pies, fruit, cream, or meat. Hope you like this crust as much as my husband and I do.
