Byoko, what a kind gesture to write down the list of ingredients!📝 Thanks a bunch! 👍😉

[@sarastacks3837]

Thank you

[@nosslinlime2384]

can someone convert the water, flour and butter to grams?

[@mgmych7645]

@Southeastern777 how rude

[@mandylandolt7512]

I made this recipe tonight, and I am no professional baker, but just wow. Best. Pie crust. Ever.

[@HeyWatchMeGo]

Read my comment above, for an even faster way to make it with a small food processor. :) Also, I used Lard. I agree, this is the best pie crust EVER!

[@Tomana_]

every other How To I watched about making a pie crust is something like 15-20 minutes in length (or more). Anna taught us in TWO MINUTES FIFTEEN SECONDS and it gives the best results ...

[@nomam7358]

ikr🙄😅

[@user-op9mv5lq1u]

😂

[@HeyWatchMeGo]

I made this pie crust with Tenderflake LARD (1/2 lb, which is 1/2 of the box it came in), and the 2 1/2 cups of flour with the other dry ingredients (and the oil buzzed in) in the recipe. (1 tbsp sugar, and I used about 1 tsp salt) I quickly buzzed in the lard into the flour mixture, doing 1/2 of the lard with 1/2 of the flour at a time, in my small food processor. Then added the 1/4 cup cold water with 2 TBS of white vinegar by hand to form the dough. Absolutely the BEST pastry I have ever had! And simple to do!! *I baked it at 400 degrees F until it was nicely browned. Used it for apple pie, and also a meat pie. EXCELLENT!

[@mscharcoal]

I noticed Anna’s recipe called for 2 tsp of vinegar but you mentioned 2 TBS… just curious if that gives off more of a flakey pie crust or more acidic flavor? 😊 Would love to know if you get the chance.

[@fariaqureshi8374]

Anna. I’ve tried many pie dough recipes but yours is hands down my favourite. It’s flaky, tender and lots of layers.

[@tzanckmen459]

If tried countless pie crust recipes for years and this is the first time I've succeeded in making a flaky pie crust. Thank you so much Ms Anna Olson!! Definitely keeping this recipe. The only difference is I grated a frozen block of butter instead of chopping the butter into cubes to help the butter incorporate into the dough more quickly.

[@StacieSOhelena]

Perfect everytime.. my favorite go to pastry recipe.. i ise a fork instead of a pastry cutter though

[@francinepoirier3645]

Wow! What a difference in texture. I just did this dough on a French Canadian sugar pie and the upper crust is divine!

[@patriciarachel9278]

Never made pie dough before , tried three different recipes. This one is hands down the best and always succeeds!! Thank you

[@Momzie808]

Finally a pie crust with vinegar or lemon juice mixed in, which I think is correct. I remember when I was young there was always vinegar in a pie crust but now a days there's none, what happened but I'm glad you have it in, thank you!

[@GygaxGirl]

This is the best pie dough and dough technique ever!! My youngest son loves pie. I never made a good crust in my life before finding Anna's recipe. I'm not afraid to make pie anymore. Thanks Anna :D

[@SugarFlowers]

I love this recipe. I wanted to improve my own recipe and yours has made all the difference. Thank you for posting this.

[@21z3jbyrd]

The addition of the oil has been a game changer for me. I wish I had seen this video years ago. This method is simply brilliant.

[@peacehappyb237]

Me too!

[@SaraB77779]

I made this recipe for my Chocolate pecan pie today and IT WAS AMAZING. It really is the flakiest, also the crust itself tastes great like a nice biscuit and complements the filling beautifully.

[@rharesh4451]

My mom said this is the best pie crust no fail recipe on the KZbin channel, thanks for recipe ma'am and God bless medical student Malaysia 👍🙌

[@HeyWatchMeGo]

This is a recipe that WORKS. So if you are N.F.G. at making pastry, like me (hah)a Use this recipe! It works! I measured and buzzed in (in my mini food processor) my dry ingredients, (c/w the OIL! Super important!!) then put the 1/2 of the dry with 1/2 of the LARD (instead of butter) into a little food processor, buzzed it in...then did it again with the other 1/2 of the flour mixture with the other 1/2 of the lard .. then I combined both halves.. Seriously, the best pastry EVER and so easy w/the food processor...even my little one! Thanks Anna Olson! Reply

[@DisneyUpBoilerUp]

Wow is there like a part two? That ended very abruptly. I'd like to see how you put it in the pan and bake it as well.

[@julienprevost5409]

When you have a question about baking, Ana Olson’s got the answer

[@mnktfn]

I love that you explain why you add certain ingredients! I is incredibly helpful and allows us to change the recipe to adapt it to our pie preferences. I have never quite figured out why you have to knead some doughs a lot and other can me over mixed. But with videos like these I'm closer to figuring it out. 😊

[@SweetPea1964]

mnk tfn: Think of gluten as natures glue. If you want a nice "chew", you knead a long time (like bread) for like 8 minutes. You will be able to stretch bread dough if done right. On the other hand, you certainly don't want a "chew" or toughness--in pie crust, so you don't want to knead it. That way it will be tender and flaky. So think of what you want your end product to be like. For example: Shortbread you do not want to mix long, or it won't be light and crispy--whereas chocolate chip cookies need some more structure, so you mix for a few minutes (but not nearly as long as bread) to create a bit of gluten to hold them together and give just a bit of chew.

[@mightylordkuba]

I have a problem that my Pie do not hold it shape when i cut it and transfer it to plate the button part make the mess. And I think I work it even too much (once made in foodprocesor) so the gluten development should be more than enough to hold it shape. For sure it has no "chew" or toughness also it is hard to transfer from rollin pin to pie bowl. And My dough not look like this flaky for sure

[@Crisstylez1984]

@@mightylordkubameasurements might be off slightly... you could possibly have too much liquid or fat in your dough or the very likely culprit is that the butter melted in the mixing process. The dough does not need to be completely combined when "kneading". The less you work it the better. You should still see a few crumbs on your surface. Have you tried freezing your butter? Working quickly? My final suggestion would be to pre-bake the dough on the pie plate then add your filling and cook for the additional time the filling needs (making sure to cover the edges of crust in foil). This will help with your slices holding it's shape. Hope it's not too late to offer advice. It says you posted this 2 yrs ago...

[@Alexandra-jj2qh]

​@@SweetPea19646 years on came across your reply. Found it succinct and helpful, thank you.

[@a.humphries8678]

OMG!! This is the best recipe ever! Ever! This was better than the pie filling. I could just eat a puck of the crust, it's that good.

[@peacehappyb237]

It is! I said the same thing!

[@Optimist788]

I grate my butter while frozen then incorporate into the recipe as instructed. Great crust never fails me:)

[@izabellaa6220]

what a great idea

[@lpcookie1]

Oh ya. I heard that tip before. Forgot about that.👍

[@RejParent]

I do the same, love it. 🙃😁👍

[@JM-vj7we]

2022 thanks thanks for the butter tip!

[@milfordcivic6755]

Grating frozen butter is the best technique for all pastry! It ensures even distribution of the fat.

[@bradbotkin2522]

I followed this recipe to the letter. I even went out and bought a similar dough cutter. This turned out to be the "most amazing" pie dough I ever made. Texture and everything couldn't be any better - it's "perfect!"

[@vanessastlouis]

Anna thank you this pie crust is delicious! I made it tonight and it was perfect! I’m a big fan of your recipes! Thank you!

[@princesskuchatah5155]

Thank you so much for sharing the recipes, i tried it taste yummy.

[@lindachandler2293]

It took me many years to figure out my favorite pie crust recipe. I learned the 'correct way' in high school home ec. Later I tried Julia Child's recipe and Martha Stewart's recipe. I've tried goodness only knows how many recipes. Here's the thing; I grew up with the way grandma and mama made crusts and I have made that same crust for all of the 72 years I've been big enough to make them. That is the crust people have warm memories of at special occasions and such. It might not be made the right way, but if I make a different crust, everyone thinks I messed up the pie 😊

[@slumber8]

Thank u for d recipe. I've tried it. It works. It's going to be my only pie crust recipe ever...

[@christinematechuk2121]

This dough is amazing! I have spent my life buying frozen pies because the pastry scared me. Anna has made it so easy that my family asked for my pies and Tourtiere. Thanks, I feel like a baker ❤️

[@persephone8754]

Does anyone know how long your supposed to bake it for?

[@donnyl3336]

Can I safely add a bit more water ( 1-2 teaspoons). I’m still finding it crumbly trying to roll out. I let it relax in fridge for 3-4 hours and bring it out for 15-20 minutes before rolling. Still very crumbly and breaks apart. On Vancouver Island.

[@marykaras2353]

Hi Anna, Thank you for your professionalism when making your videos. I love watching you. You are quick and to the point. One thing has me confused, however. In this pie crust recipe you say to take the butter out of the fridge about 15 minutes prior to starting your crust. In your other pie crust recipe you say to freeze it for about 10 minutes before starting. This is confusing to me. Can you please tell me what the difference is or which is the better way. I would so appreciate it. Thanking you in advance. 😊

[@dorisjimison7590]

I would like to know the answer to this, too. Puzzled.

Hi Anna..i like your cooking ideas. I even like your kitchen set up..the oven you are using in this video is called...?

[@joannebrown7927]

We found that the dough was way too dry with 1/4 cup of water called for. It would not stick together at all. We put it back in the bowl and added another 1/4 cup of water and the consistency was more like the video. The pie crust has turned out fabulous. Nobody else commenting seems to have had trouble with only using 1/4 cup. Is there some trick we are missing?

[@kaileehamilton836]

Same 1/2 is better

[@SA-gf7uf]

1/4 cup was perfect for me. Maybe your butter was too cold?
