Grandma Platt's Always Perfect Pie Crust image

My Grandma Platt taught me how to make the perfect pie crust. No matter the humidity, how much you roll it out, or the temperature, it always comes out perfect and makes a wonderful flaky crust. I use it to make all my pies including the ones I sell at the local farmers market.
