Pie crust recipe

[kwpnjumper55]

I have to make 2 pies today. What's your favorite recipe for crust?

I usually use the Pate Brisee recipe from my Joy of Cooking cookbook. But ALWAYS pate brisee over any other style. Sometimes I add 1-2 tsp cinnamon in to it as well.

I've used Pioneer Woman's recipe. I think it turned out good, and it was pretty easy.

Mine is simple.
Go to store, buy pie crust. Done!

I use one from the Williams-Sonoma Essential Baking cookbook. It's my favorite. There are different proportions and directions based on what kind of pie you're making (doube crust, single crust, or lattice) and how you want to make it (by hand, pastry cutter, or food processor). I like a recipe that uses both cold butter and cold shortening - that way they're super flaky, and still have that buttery goodness.

There's also one that Lucinda Scala Quinn does, and it uses cream cheese instead of butter or shortening.

This is the pie crust I use for just about everything. Comes together very easily and it's all things I always have on hand.
