How many prefer to make their own pie crust, and if so, do you have a
perfect recipe, or method?

It seems like a difficult thing to do for some, and no matter what they
do, the crust is "tough", or just not worthy of the "Good Housekeeping
Seal Of Approval."
My one grandmother could bake awesome cakes, but her pies left a lot to
be desired, because she never could master making a good flaky light
crust, so would buy some kind of sticks in a box, but I never thought
they were so great. I don't even know if you can buy a pie crust mix in
a box anymore?

When my hubby makes pie at his cabin, he likes the Pillsbury
refrigerated crusts, but I find them too "lardy" tasting. The only crust
I have discovered that was even close to home made was Marie Callender's
frozen pie crusts, and if I'm going to make a single pie, and don't want
the fuss and bother of messing the kitchen up for one crust, I will use
that brand of frozen. Today I made a chocolate cream pie using a Marie
Callender crust, and it's quite tasty.

I learned to make crust from my mother, but even mine have never been
quite as good as hers, but I do get compliments on them. My cousin once
told me, I don't care about the filling, I just want to eat the crust!

So would your pie win a blue ribbon at a local fair?
