my mom would cut the extra dough in strips and do the sugar/cinnamon thing.

I love pie, but am a failure when it comes to making a good crust, I have tried and tried and tried.

Store bought pie crust has gotten pretty damn good, so I rarely if ever make my own anymore.

When you're measuring out the water to mix in with the flour, substitute 1/4 of the water with clear, unflavored vodka.

It makes it so the pie crust is nice and pliable to work with, but the vodka evaporates during the baking, leaving you with a beautiful, flaky pie crust.

Good idea. I'll have to try that. I tried the pie crusts that use vinegar and I just didn't like the taste. I always go back to my tried and true Betty Crocker recipe.

Silver, I got the idea from a Cooks Illustrated magazine. My mom was visiting so of course we had to try it out. Best. Pie Crust. Ever.

Even the best pie crust can be ruined by ****ty fillings.

also, minimize the contact with your skin if your pie crusts turn out tough or chewy. A baker once told me that you either have dough hands or you don't. If you can't make a good pie crust this is why.
