                I made this crust with one of her banana cream pie recipes, and it was gone instantly. My sister even said that it was the best pie crust she had ever eaten! I would recommend putting some more moisture in, at least from my experience and other reviews that were left. Not too much though! Delicious!

                Tho' not prepared yet,see a few Reasons for Other Reviewer's conflicts w/Dough.Humidity interacts w/Flour.May need to use less or more.Add in Lower amounts.Yolks and Butter Are liquids once baked. Try to back~up the food items by 1 egg &equal of 1 egg w/White Only.Try less Butter.do not roll too Thin.Use rolling Pin to "help" take to Pan.Cold helps too.Hot room/weather will  "break" Dough.

                I've made this pie for about six Thanksgivings now, because it's my daughter's favorite.  This crust is miserable to make, though.  It crumbles, tears, won't be rolled out, and must be patched in the pan, and then it burns (even with tin foil).  I have to keep making it but would welcome any suggestions for making it work better.  I've had years of experience baking pies and do fine, but not with this one!

                Maybe I did something wrong, but my dough never held together.  Even after being chilled, it was too crumbly and wasn't able to be rolled out.  I pressed it into a pie plate instead of rolling it out.  Not sure how it will turn out - it's still in the oven.
