My review
Mom's Pie Crust for a Double Crust Pie
Jamie Lowe
"I got this from my mother. She has used it for as long as she has been baking. It is very easy to make and tastes wonderful. I use heaping tablespoons of shortening because I like a very short crust."

I've been using this recipe for about 5-6 years now it's never let me down. It works well with either lard or shortening. I let it rest on the counter covered for about an hour then roll it out ...

Crust came out perfect! Did not use half a cup, though. Just a bit less.
