Homemade Pie Crust from Scratch

This is the BEST pie crust recipe! I know, I know, everybody probably has a recipe they say that about, but this really is the best one I have found. And I’ve done lots of searching! This is my go-to for any time I need a crust, whether it be for quiche, pot pie, or a dessert.

Some of the reasons I love this recipe is because it is buttery, flaky, and crunchy all at the same time. It has the best consistency and is so versatile. It also freezes well so when I make this, I always double the recipe so that I can have some in the freezer for later. I roll them out slightly and then wrap them in plastic wrap and pop them in the a plastic bag. And of course, it is made from scratch with ingredients you have on hand.

So simple and just one step closer to PIE!
