Pie Crust
"I got this recipe from a local church cookbook. I have been making this crust for nearly 35 years. It is a flakey and delicious. Rolling the dough between sheets of wax paper makes for a perfect and easy pie crust every time. This recipe makes a 2-crusted pie or 3 thin single crusts."

Remove top piece of waxed paper and then gently flip over the dough onto your pie pan. Remove 2nd piece of waxed paper and gently shape the dough into the pie pan. Trim excess dough off.
