Mom's Classic Pie Crust

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kimberly_Edwards]Kimberly Edwards

Some of my best memories of family is when we sit and eat together... I love eating dessert with loved ones. Everyone's satisfied from dinner and just enjoying the moment and each other. Even if it's a pie we made for an afternoon tea with my aunts, it is always special to me! Tried and true, mom's pie crust is strong enough for any filling, yet light, flaky and delicious. Perfect for Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie, Christmas Lemon Meringue, your favorite quiche and everything in between!

You can use this dough for making strudel or even top your pie with a crust or lattice...This is the perfect recipe for anything like that!
