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.

I love this crust recipe and have made it many times. It’s simple and good. The only difference is I use milk instead of water. I will try to remember to use water next time.
