Personal Notes:
Aunt Lorena and Zandra's tried and true recipe for crust. Use it for cream and fruit pies, apple dumplings, and quiche.
This crust can be made into balls and kept in the refrigerator for several days.

Pie Crust tip: sprinkle water on counter, cover with cling/Saran wrap, flour surface and roll out dough. When placing in pie pan, pick up Saran wrap and flip into pan- this makes for easy transfer of rolled crust to pan.
