""This is a Madam Benoit no fail pastry that has made making pastry easy and fun. Madam Benoit attended the Cordon Blue in Paris, was a great cooking show host and went on to be a Canadian cooking institution by herself. This recipe originally from a segment on her cooking show - a recipe that wowed and was quickly passed around . She is so right, it is a wonderful no fail pasty that makes for great tasting flaky pies and pastries. I am also very familiar with her no fail recipe using vinegar and egg that is printed on the back of the Tenderflake box, one made by both my mom and myself. This is another of her awesome pastries, this one calling for three tablespoons of lemon juice and the one I have been using for many years. I am a Madam Benoit fan and I love this recipe! Being a big recipe, if you are making one pie taking a few extra minutes to roll out the extra pastry for the freezer will see to having shells on hand the next time you need a special dessert. This recipe is easily halved and very freezer friendly.I use Realemon brand lemon juice."..."
