>Several weeks ago, Sara Cann interviewed me on the subject of pie crusts and, along with some tips and explanations, offered her my favorite for her blog WomensHealth.
The title of the piece is The Key to Perfect Pie Crust? Add Cream Cheese.
Just in time for your holiday baking, if you haven't already mastered an easy and delicious pie crust, I encourage you to try it!
Note: If using Rose's Perfect Pie Plate, which has a beautiful larger side border than the standard pie plate, roll the dough 14-inches instead of 13-inches.

I followed the directions, didn't over work the dough, but it still came out thick and solid, definitely not light and flakey. What did I do wrong?
thanks

Hi Jacqui,
We also recommend to type in the Google search box: "Rose's Favorite Flaky & Tender Pie Crust" and try making her best pie crust. The recipe has metric weight measurements.

Hi jacqui,
We suggest that you just convert the recipe from pounds to grams:
lbs / 2.2 = kilograms

My favourite pie crust recipe is from a wonderful chef I worked for.
9 pounds flour
6 pounds (3 of shortening and 3 of butter)
3 pounds of ice cold water
For home I use a third of the recipe. It is a very forgiving dough and freezes well.
I know I will love your recipe with cream cheese.
Happy New Year Baking!
