I had never made a homemade pie crust before this Thanksgiving. Asking for help and suggestions on thebuzz, Deb C. recommended this recipe. I made it as written and according to my family, it was "awesome". It was very simple to make, and it rolled out very nicely. My SIL who makes crusts was very impressed and said "it isn't at all tough". Not sure what a tough crust is as I don't eat the crust, but everyone ate it all. I used this to make my great-grandma's pumpkin pie recipe and a pecan pie.
