I posted one of her pie recipes... she has one other that she used a lot and I moved it out of the book of her recipes to someplace......

the one I posted I don't remember how that one turns out....must be good if it is a first prize winner.... the next one.....when i find it .... I remember is very flaky....

I'm glad your first crust was a success..!

Points - the one good thing about the cuisine art pie pastries is that you barely use the machine before the mixture turns into a pie dough.

The less you work a dough by kneading- with any recipe, the better..., I usually drop the mixture into plastic, and while wrapping it up, that's when I shape it slightly into a flatten ball - otherwise, I don't knead it at all, really.

Also with all these other pie pastries you have been attempting - you could have done some turnovers.. and kept them in the freezer... they are much more kind than say broken pieces of pie pastry to make a whole pie....

and using wax paper on the bottom and on the top while rolling out the dough helps to prevent adding too much flour when some people are heavy handed with adding it to prevent sticking.... another of mama gertie's tricks...
