every other How To I watched about making a pie crust is something like 15-20 minutes in length (or more). Anna taught us in TWO MINUTES FIFTEEN SECONDS and it gives the best results ...

If tried countless pie crust recipes for years and this is the first time I've succeeded in making a flaky pie crust. Thank you so much Ms Anna Olson!! Definitely keeping this recipe. The only difference is I grated a frozen block of butter instead of chopping the butter into cubes to help the butter incorporate into the dough more quickly.

I made this pie crust with Tenderflake LARD (1/2 lb, which is 1/2 of the box it came in), and the 2 1/2 cups of flour with the other dry ingredients (and the oil buzzed in) in the recipe. (1 tbsp sugar, and I used about 1 tsp salt)
I quickly buzzed in the lard into the flour mixture, doing 1/2 of the lard with 1/2 of the flour at a time, in my small food processor.
Then added the 1/4 cup cold water with 2 TBS of white vinegar by hand to form the dough.
Absolutely the BEST pastry I have ever had! And simple to do!!
*I baked it at 400 degrees F until it was nicely browned. Used it for apple pie, and also a meat pie.
EXCELLENT!

I made this recipe tonight, and I am no professional baker, but just wow. Best. Pie crust. Ever.

[Optimist]

I grate my butter while frozen then incorporate into the recipe as instructed. Great crust never fails me:)

Anna. I’ve tried many pie dough recipes but yours is hands down my favourite. It’s flaky, tender and lots of layers.

[patriciarachel]

Never made pie dough before, tried three different recipes. This one is hands down the best and always succeeds!! Thank you

The addition of the oil has been a game changer for me. I wish I had seen this video years ago. This method is simply brilliant.

I love that you explain why you add certain ingredients! I is incredibly helpful and allows us to change the recipe to adapt it to our pie preferences. I have never quite figured out why you have to knead some doughs a lot and other can me over mixed. But with videos like these I'm closer to figuring it out. 😊

i've watched this a milion times. finally trying it. i'm sure after this, you tube could just delete all other pie crust videos and we would still be running at 110%. Thank you. By the way, my pie crust was everything I couldn't even imagine and I have never made anything that came close. I did an egg wash on it. It made it so nice. I also used a Mr's Anderson's aluminum pie crust shield. I made a turkey pot pie. Oh. I want to eat the whole thing but limited myself to 2 pieces. My skinny boyfriend ate a whole slice! He eats very little, so that was a miracle. He usually only eats what he cooks himself. You are a superhero! Also, mine was having trouble not falling apart when I tried to roll it so I put a flexible cutting mat over it then it rolled out more easily. I will always remember you in my prayers for helping me with my pie phobia. :D

I made this recipe for my Chocolate pecan pie today and IT WAS AMAZING.
It really is the flakiest, also the crust itself tastes great like a nice biscuit and complements the filling beautifully.

My mom said this is the best pie crust no fail recipe on the YouTube channel, thanks for recipe ma'am and God bless medical student Malaysia 👍🙌

[Momzie]

Finally a pie crust with vinegar or lemon juice mixed in, which I think is correct. I remember when I was young there was always vinegar in a pie crust but now a days there's none, what happened but I'm glad you have it in, thank you!

[bradbotkin]

I followed this recipe to the letter. I even went out and bought a similar dough cutter. This turned out to be the "most amazing" pie dough I ever made. Texture and everything couldn't be any better - it's "perfect!"

[MsScorpyscorp]

The incorporation of oil is such a clever idea, Anna. Thanks for all the tips.

[GygaxGirl]

This is the best pie dough and dough technique ever!! My youngest son loves pie. I never made a good crust in my life before finding Anna's recipe. I'm not afraid to make pie anymore. Thanks Anna :D

[beauation]

This is my favourite pie crust recipe! My son and I prepared a cherry pie; he prepared the pie dough following your instructions, and even topping it off with your lattice technique (from your Blueberry pie tutorial) on top! Thanks for sharing and teaching, Chef Anna Olson!

[vanessastlouis]

Anna thank you this pie crust is delicious! I made it tonight and it was perfect! I’m a big fan of your recipes! Thank you!

[a.humphries]

OMG!! This is the best recipe ever! Ever! This was better than the pie filling. I could just eat a puck of the crust, it's that good.
