In reply to QueenBoadicea. Thanks for taking the time to compute that! Glad you liked the recipe enough to take the time to do so.

When I tried this recipe, I halved the ingredients so it was for a single crust. It didn’t really cover it. Then I realized that I was using a 9-inch pie plate and this recipe was more suitable for an 8-inch pie plate. So I made certain adjustments and figured out how to make this recipe work for my pie plates.

For one 8-in. pie crust:
1 c. all-purpose flour
¾ tsp. salt
¼ c. vegetable or canola oil
⅛ c. cold water

For two 8-in. pie crusts:
2 c. all-purpose flour
1½ tsp. salt
½ c. vegetable or canola oil
¼ c. cold water

For one 9-in. pie crust:
1½ all-purpose flour
1⅛ tsp. salt
⅜ c. vegetable or canola oil
3 tbsp. cold water

For two 9-in. pie crusts:
2½ c. all-purpose flour
2¼ tsp. salt
¾ c. vegetable or canola oil
⅜ c. cold water

In reply to WLADZIU PATEREK. Sorry to hear that it wasn't a hit for you. Did you by chance change anything else in the recipe?

In reply to Tamara. Hi Tamara, I typically spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then level it off with a knife.

My mother used this recipe and I never learned it from her. It really looks like the one my mom always used. The only baking that my mother showed me was how she measured flour. I was wondering how you measured your flour? I searched the net and noticed lots of different approaches which might be the reason why some have experienced issues with the recipe? Just a thought.

In reply to Sandy LaPointe. It won't hold together that way, Sandy. You'll want to pour the pie filling into an unbaked crust and then top it and bake it.

Can I pre-bake the crust and then fill with the prepared filling and serve ??
