I want to thank you for posting this video. I'm deaf, so I used the automatic captioning feature and discovered that you speak so clearly, I can easily follow your comments through the captioned text. The quality of the video is excellent. I want to compliment your filming person. I am going to try your pie crust, it will be a new cooking adventure for me. I am pretty new to cooking. Thank you for making this lovely movie.
I was looking 4 a pie crust. Easy. And. I found you. I love you and how great you explain everything. I think it never too late 4 me to enjoy the fun of baking. Love your tips and your kitchen. Thank you so much
My 93 yr old dad loved the berry pie I made him. He said it tasted like his childhood Love bringing back the good ol recipes that people made using the ingredients on hand.
In my 63 years I have never made a homemade pie crust. This is the one I'm going to try. It doesn't get any simpler than this. Thank you !! No longer afraid of pie crust 😊🥧
Nana's pie crust is on point. Depending on one's individual taste/ product. This is true route/ root, the ish to making great pie crust. Thank's Nana and her kinfolk that pushed her to share .
I know I’ve commented before, but I’ve just made perhaps my hundredth quiche using your recipe and it’s always perfect. I’m actually famous now amongst our friends and my students, I teach university, for my quiches and pies, and it’s all thanks to you! If you’re watching this video for the first time, IT WORKS! So easy and just perfect! Thank you Nana! I owe you so much!
2minutes in and I realise how natural she's presenting. No uhm or ähm, there seems to be no script. Just fluent good presentation. Even channels with over a millions subs struggle with that. Respect for that
in my first apartment our table was the coffee table which became my baking table after covering with wax paper. in the 70’s we didn’t have all the luxuries of today. Our luxury was our hands. no pie tastes better unless the crust is by hand. eons ago we made food with the love of our fingertips
When people refer so lovingly to food made in authentic Tuscan kitchens, it is not these huge commercial kitchens in McMansions, it is small kitchens in Tuscan farmhouses that may have needed water brought in from a well. On my grandparents farm, my grandmother made biscuits for the big farm breakfast so effortlessly by hand on the kitchen table. I still have that table, which I use as a desk, and love seeing the marks where she attached her meat grinder to grind her own beef. The best meals are those prepared with love, not fancy kitchens.
@@andresinsurriaga876 I've always thought lard was best for pie crust. I'm going to give it a try. I'll melt the lard down to the measure she recommends.
OMG.....my mom was the pie Queen....she made the best pies ever her crust was flaky to the last slice. I have been an epic fail with her pie crust...so sad and now she is gone so no help. YOUR pie crust is a winner! OMG just made it and it is so flaky and yummy....I can now make pies! Thank you so very much! p.s. mom was a Crisco pie crust maker
You sound like me. My mom was a great baker especially with pie crust and she was a crisco lady herself and for yrs I've been trying to get like her baking and my mom is gone as well.
I still have my Mom but she had a bad stroke about 7 years ago and she just can't remember certain things, her awesome crisco pie crust is one of them. My wife is a wonderful cook but a poor baker "Her words" and I agree haha j/k. I am on a mission to make a great pie crust. I am not making anymore pies Intel I perfect a crust that lives up to my memory of my Moms crust. Our dogs will love tasting and judging the crust with my Wife and I. Anyway don't worry about that scumbag Husband instead go nail his friends I promise he will love that! Haha
same with my mom. it's all about hydration. i failed a few times because i did not add enough water. 2 tablespoons might not be enough. when i rolled the dough out, it started crackling and breaking apart. likely because i was using freshly milled flour.
I have the exact same story. My mom’s pie crust (crisco) was flaky and awesome but even though I used the exact recipe, I could never duplicate her success.
Me too! My mom was the best pie maker. She was also a Crisco gal! Her crust was delicious. I could not make that pie crust. I bought so many gadgets to assist me in moving the dough to the pie pan! That ended up as a failure! Using butter rather than Crisco turned into the same failure for me. I decided to put away the gadgets and buy my pie at a grocery store when needed. After reading the comments, I think I am going to give it a shot!
Thank you, Thank you! .....for over twenty years i tried to please my husband by cooking and baking the things he liked.The nicest comment he ever made was " its o.k." . The worst was " Im not eating this sh#t".My confidence erroded and now after almost 5 years of being seperated from him Im gonna try baking again. Im going to make butter tarts for my wonderful and kind son-in-law's birthday. It wasnt your recipe in particular that boosted my confidence it was you saying " its not perfectly round and its not going to be" and " we can fix that" when you patched in some dough on the lip of the crust.Youve got my back! And Im so glad you made this video................Now, after almost five years, Ive seen my husband with a number of women and it hurts that they are everything I couldnt be for him. But i' can be everything for me!! Bless you Nana
Mary-pat, it made me sad to read your comment. I've experienced abuse iin my life. And I understand. You can bake beautifully if you follow a few basic hints or golden suggestions good luck to you and you will meet lovely people on the web, a fewjerks too just ignore the negative and allow the joy sent your way into your heart. Good luck
+Jeanne Marie thank you Jeanne Marie. your comment means a lot to me.i feel like I've turned a page since I posted that comment - and all because of this wonderful woman called Nana. her impression on me lead me to "comment" for the first time ever on the Internet! and now your response!- I don't feel so alone anymore.there are good and kind people out there.thank you.:)
So excited for my 3rd year using nanas crust recipe for the holidays. Had to rewatch the video again just to make sure I do it right. Happy Thanksgiving to your family.
I had lost my recipes in a move and was sad I had lost my oil crust,I am thrilled I found you. I have made this so many times and is always perfect. Thank you so much for the post!!
I came here from Reddit, the other day, based on a prompt by Paige. Nana Gloria -- I'm so surprised at how my pie crust turned out! I am not a frequent pie baker, mostly because I have a tiny kitchen with poor counter space. I make quiche quite often, not so much fruit pie, and I always grab a crust from the freezer. But you said by the time you open that box of frozen pie crust you could make this simple version -- and -- you had one other trick. I detest using my ONLY counter to dust with flour, it's so messy, and my dining room table is quite nice, so that's not a good surface for me. Dusting and rolling out in flour is a pain in the butt -- but you used wax paper and it was so neat and tidy. So today for lunch I made a bean and beef savory pie, and I used your crust. It's very good! The texture of the crust is unique -- it's almost like a cross between flaky and a very fine crumbed shortbread cookie. I think next time I'll add garlic salt when making something savory. But -- you were right. The crust was the LEAST labor intensive part of this savory pie entree, and I'll make your crust again and not waste 2 seconds worrying about it! The big test is making a fruit pie, however, because I so detest a soggy bottom crust from liquid fruit juice. Perhaps blind bake that one first, and then rebake with the filling?
@@KFCalif Blind baking will 'toughen" up the crust so it won't get soggy. I, too, was surprised about the oil, I have never used, just shortening or butter. And alternating with vodka and water for the moisture. Wax paper will help in getting the crust into the pan, I don't know how anyone does it any other way! But working the dough too much and not prepping the crust per the recipe will always be a disappointment. Good luck!
I tried this pie crust for the first time yesterday. I have to say, this will be my go to recipe from now on. You are right. It is ridiculously easy and makes an incredible crust. I substituted the canola oil for coconut oil... WOW!! The crust was incredibly flaky!! Thank you for sharing this.
I wait for the days. I cook with my 2-1/2 yr old grandson right now. I send him to grandpa when things get out of hand and look like nothing is going to be edible! But he sure does love making white dust all over for the dogs to make paw prints in. Makes him laugh so hard while grandma yells for grandpa to come Help me and turn Dragons movie on. That keeps him quiet the entire time grandma keeps busy cleaning up his messes! Gotta love grand toddlers!! Lol
Wow! Your pie crust recipe was so easy to follow, then your video tutorial ended & I realized I wasn't paying attention. Oops! Seems I couldn't take my eyes off your darling apron covered in ripe, red, raining strawberries; reminded me of the coveted Wilendur printed cotton tablecloths from the 40's that I adore. I much prefer a good pie over a pretty cake. Good thing is, I can watch this again & will be saving your video in my favorites. Thank you for sharing your recipe & techniques. I appreciate your simplicity & genuineness. 🍓
What a jewel you are and your grandchildren realize this. There were so many of my favorite recipes of my grandmother and mother that I didn’t get. My mother was one of those that could see a dish and just know what the ingredients was. She did these elaborate wedding cakes, people would come to her instead of the local bakery. Thank you and your grandchildren for sharing this, I will be looking at your other recipes. Do you have a Turkey Dressing recipe and fried chicken.
I started making this crust about 5 or so years ago, after watching your video. I've made a few tweaks to suit me, but my crusts are 100% spot on every time. I'm now known for my pies and my husband demands I make the pies for the holidays. Everyone looks forward to them. Thank you for such a simple and effective pie crust recipe! So many other recipes put so much other stuff in them, and I'm not sure why. This is perfect for sweet or savory.
I hope your grand babies know how lucky they are to have you! I don't have any grannies, and it always feels like such a loss. This channel is wonderful. ❤
I loved this recipe and video. My son told me, this year he's too old for trick or treating (hes 12) but every year we pick a pumpkin together. He requested a pie and i wanted to give him the best homemade pumpkin pie he will ever remember this year. I was intimidated by making the crust but watching you teach viewers how to make pie crust not only gave me confidence but warmed my heart. I teared. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and techniques and more importantly thank you for the confidence
Ok, I've never in my life left a review for a pie crust until NOW. There's no way you can go wrong with this recipe, I can't thank Nana enough for sharing it. Not sure I would have ! This is the kknd of recipe you inherit! Thank you so so much, Nana!
Thank you so much for this. I'm 56 and after making a pie crust on my twenties that was just horrible, I've relied on good old pre-made. I saw this on reddit and made the prettiest chicken pot pie tonight. It was the easiest thing I've ever made honestly, well besides coffee. The taste was good, can't wait to try it in a sweet pie. Thank you again
You are a natural at this. I could NEVER make pie crust until I made it the way you make it. I was looking for a you tube tutorial for pie crust and found you. This is by far the easiest pie crust I have ever tried to make. And believe me, I tried and tried to make pie crust only to fail over and over. Thank you so much for giving me back my self esteem where pie crust is concerned. You're the best.
Hi Nana...I discovered this recipe a couple of years ago and it has become my go to pie crust recipe. Now my whole family asks me to bake the pies for our family get togethers. I had tried so many recipes with butter and/or shortening only to be left with tough or tasteless pie crusts. Your recipe is so easy...no more pie crust anxiety for me. Thanks to you and your grandchildren for sharing this wonderful, tender, flaky, pie crust recipe.
I loved this easy to learn, straight forward instructions given by this cute Nana!! Thank you so much. I needed a quick crust for Thanksgiving. I prefer it to be homemade but I have not made one in a very long time and forgot how it is done. This is done to perfection. I miss my granny who died when she was 99.5 years young. I always loved watching her cook and bake homemade receipes. Since she has gone home to be with the Lord, none of the children documented the receipes, we wish we had now. I remember some things, but having the actual ingredients are key. Thank God for these smart grandchildren who decided to film these wonderful keepsake receipes. Thank you for sharing them with the world. God bless you and your family, Jesus name, from my family to yours!!! I look forward to viewing many more.
Nana just tried the to make the pie crust and it turned out PERFECT !!!! So much easier than the other videos on that I watched on U Tube. Thank you SOOOOOOOOO Much !!!
Just watched ur video on pie crust. I am a senior and say Bravo Bravo U are down to earth and real. These super cooks make everything so complicated u hate to cook. Ur the BESTIEST
i watched this video to many times to count while i was making dinner tonight. i'm making beef pot pie. i have mad pie crust before but i learned how to make it from this video. i always seems to come back to this video when making pie crust. Thank you for being a great grandma, teacher, and inspiration.
I found your pie crust recipe a few years ago. I've been making it ever since. I now know the recipe by heart, but every so often I come back to watch this video. What's even better than this awesome recipe is your beautiful spirit! God bless!
Thank you for all your information. It’s the little things that you do that make a difference. I’m 71 and I still have trouble making a pie crust. After watching you I really feel I can do it. You’re awesome thank you. From Cincinnati, Ohio.
I made a pie today. Haven't made a pie from scratch in probably 20 years. I needed some help. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. It is a very delicious, flaky crust. I watched your video a couple of time and then I did it! Thank you so much for your help.
Nana! Thank you! I've tried others... and fail miserably. I love this recipe and I keep referring to it. Thank you for being brave to be on camera, for your wonderful insights and experience. Please don't stop sharing them! Lots of love!
This is the only pie crust I have ever made in 55 years of baking. The reason? It tastes good! For me, other crusts just don't have any flavor. Eating pie is all about the crust. Plus, it's so easy and fool proof. I never chill it before rolling. Makes a delish quiche crust, pot pies, etc. I used to roll out the scraps and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and bake for my daughter. Yum!
I love you Nana. I love your calming voice and your no bs instructions. I have been searching FOREVER for a flaky pie crust without hydrogenated shortening. Your family is so lucky to have you!
I'm here in 2019. and love your video. I cooked a lot when I was 18-19 yrs old. Forgot many recipes that were 2 hands full of this, one of that. Life took me other directions. and over the years, simple things. I never saw using 2 pieces of wax paper, and you won my heart. I'm 64 now, and have time to cook for me and my lovely bride of 12 years. Thank you so much. (She cooks, but is a little younger and still working. I like to surprise her 3-4 times a week).
Nana.....Take a bow, I watched your video several times, i finally tried your recipe. Well friday, i made 4, and i just finished two more. Took the 4 to church and they were in live with the crust. Thank you sooooo much. Oh, by the way, last night, I changed the 2 tablespoon to 1/2 cup, added just a little more oil, a tab bit more of water, and that took care of it sticking to the paper, and perfect size to fit the pan
Jo Anne Keryger i perfected it to my liking so there's more enough to edge the pan. 1/3 cup flour 1/3 cup of oil. i have made a total of 16 pies i am so greatful to NaNa the pie crust are so flakey
Oh Nana!! I finally made a pie crust that is good! I'm 55 and have baked my whole life and pie crust NEVER comes out right. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
OMG I love your pie crust, it has taken me a very long time to find the perfect pie crust and I just found it, I am so glad ur grandchildren talked u into this video
Hello...Am also from India..when I take the maida with the amount specified in recipe it is very soggy dough..I have to add more flour to it to get desired consistency..Is maida different from what most recipes recommend ?
@@rich27jbp My mother always says ki if you measure with a cup (any cup, not just the baking measure), use that cup to measure everything else out. Also apparently dry ingredients and wet ingredients have different cups, so eye it till it looks okay! That worked for me. Whatever extras I got, I used to make little 'cookies' to dip in.
This is a game changer for me! I have been using butter all my life and what a mess I have had with it! I tried this recipe with oil and it was so simple, I can't believe I have been doing it wrong all these years! And the hint about the wax paper is genius! No more flour mess everywhere! I knew there was a reason I had it in my kitchen supplies :) Thank you for creating this video and sharing to the world. No more Marie Calllendar's frozen shells for me!
A Star or a Victim hahaha. Nana you have an amazing voice for a career in radio. Love your kitchen and your recipes almost as much as your charm. I knew it ! The very first video I watched - I said to myself -- Nana used to be a school teacher. I LOVE that your grandkids have such admiration & appreciation for you. I dont have to tell you that you are truly blessed. Shine on Nana !
Gloria, I've used your pie crust recipe for 2 yrs and have had nothing but wonderful results and positive feedback. I love this easy recipe! Thanks for sharing and taking the mystery out of pie making.
Thanks Nana! You are just like my Aunt Mary who was so patient with me when I was young and learning how to cook. Your instructions were very easy to follow. I look forward to more cooking times with you!
Hi Nana! Following now that I saw you on Reddit. Thank you for sharing. My daughter and I are looking forward to watching! We don't have an older generation in our family any more. Also, you look amazing!
I remembered this video from many years ago because it helped me out in a pinch! This pie crust turned out one of most well received creations So I am delighted to find it again!
My search for the perfect pie crust ends here. Not only is it the easiest, but l just used it with my pecan pie, and it cooked beautifully, and it tastes much better than any other crust l've tried. Couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you so much!
Oh my word, this video has been a life saver. I’ve been failing and failing at pie crust and then I found your video. SO easy! Turned out beautifully. You are the sweetest lady, thank you for sharing. Felt like I was learning from my own grandma. 🥰
I've used this recipe a gazillion times for my Mater pies. I add a little Italian spices in the crust for those. I've even made fruit hand pies with them. THE MOST SINFUL CRUST EVER 😋 AND EASY! BLESS YOU NANA❤
This recipe was SO easy and SO amazing, it saved my life. I was dreading making the crust and almost didn't make the pie I was craving. But this video was so reassuring, I'm glad I watched it. Thank you Nana!!!
Nana, Thank you soooooo much for this super easy pie crust recipe! I am a great cook, but a so-so pie crust maker. I made your crust tonight and it couldn't have been easier or better. I made a chocolate pie with it that was amazing. You are a Champion Nana Cook and deserve a huge award! I wish I was one of your grandkids. They are so lucky they are to have you. Yay for Nana!
I just discovered Nana’s Cookery and I made this pastry this morning for an open face apple galette. I mixed up the crust in a jiffy and it was so easy to roll out, didn’t have to fight with the dough like with other pastry recipes. It baked into a beautifully flaky & delicious crust. This is my new go to crust. No more fussing with cold butter or lard and getting frustrated with the dough tearing during rolling! Thanks, Nana!
I’ve been using this recipe for a year now and it is the best simple recipe. I bake all kinds of pies with this recipe and everyone loves the crust. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Nana, I just came across your channel today and YOU ROCK!!! I LOVE your kitchen too. I love how you explain your recipes. Keep them coming. Thanks!!!!!
excellent video, making this crust for many years.Use a pyrex glass cup, fill oil to 1/3 line, water on top of oil to 1/2 cup line, dump on flour salt mix and stir...easy peasy, never fail..thanks..always flaky and tender
I tried this crust for Thanksgiving this year and LET ME TELL YOU!! It was the definition of PERFECT! I am so grateful for this recipe, thanks so much for putting this up, nana 🙏🏼 ❤️
Great content Nana-as a 30 yo father who’s the primary cook in our household, the best instructions come from parents and grandparents who have years of experience cooking for their families, because there’s always a strong element of practicality. I want to feed my family well, but I can’t cook like a world class chef every night.
Your a natural in front of the camera Nana...definitely a success! What an incredibly easy recipe. Making sweet potato pies for Thanksgiving and I'm really looking forward to giving this a try. Thanks for posting and have a great holiday!
Thanks Dear Nana! I'm a 68 YO American ExPat widower raising two teenagers and pies are just not part of Thai culture....so I sought you out on RUclips! This is my second time here too. The first time was a huge deep dish apple pie in a 12' X 16" pan. It was such a hit (especially with me!) that I'm making another one for other ExPat friends!!! Many Blessings, Rollee Rolstone
Thanks for sharing your grandma with us who don't have one or a mother in law that teach us how to cook deliciousness! Very nice I love the honesty of the cooking process!
I've always been amazed at famous cooks struggling to get the crust into the pie pan. Why don't they do it the easy way like you and I do. I have made delicious crusts using the same recipe for years. I love how relaxed you are in front of the camera. We need more down to earth cooking shows.
Thank you to the granddaughter that got your Nana to do this. What a treasure. It’s a blessing to all of us. Thank you from Colorado.
Thank you so much!
IDK how else to say this, but she is the Bob Ross of baking. Everything is fine & there's no such thing as mistakes. So wholesome. Thanks Nana!
Amazing. I was always to make my own pie crust!! Not any more. Ty❤

I love that Nana KNOWS that a lot of people do not have large kitchens to cook in and I STAN.

@@maryskinner1329So well said. Food really tastes better when been made with touches of love.

If the world had more pies, it would be a better place.
Thank you, Nana. This is a lot easier than the last guy I watched. Is there any way to incorporate butter into this or don't you recommend it?

Hi,
You certainly made my day'! Thanks for the kind words.We all need them. Nana
You ARE a star, Nana⭐️🌟💫
Thank you Nana, I have been. Following your simple pie crust recipe for the past 5 years and it always comes out perfect.

I've never seen a pie crust made with oil instead of shortening or lard -- but you made this look so fast and easy -- I think I'll try it!
I came here from Reddit, the other day, based on a prompt by Paige.

Dusting and rolling out in flour is a pain in the butt -- but you used wax paper and it was so neat and tidy.
So today for lunch I made a bean and beef savory pie, and I used your crust. It's very good! The texture of the crust is unique -- it's almost like a cross between flaky and a very fine crumbed shortbread cookie. I think next time I'll add garlic salt when making something savory.
But -- you were right. The crust was the LEAST labor intensive part of this savory pie entree, and I'll make your crust again and not waste 2 seconds worrying about it! The big test is making a fruit pie, however, because I so detest a soggy bottom crust from liquid fruit juice. Perhaps blind bake that one first, and then rebake with the filling?
@@KFCalif Blind baking will 'toughen" up the crust so it won't get soggy. I, too, was surprised about the oil, I have never used, just shortening or butter. And alternating with vodka and water for the moisture. Wax paper will help in getting the crust into the pan, I don't know how anyone does it any other way! But working the dough too much and not prepping the crust per the recipe will always be a disappointment. Good luck!
That is the exact recipe I have used for many years.!
@@KFCalif Beat one egg and brush on the bottom of the pie crust before adding the fruit filling and it will not get soggy.
@@yasminenache thank you!
I tried this pie crust for the first time yesterday. I have to say, this will be my go to recipe from now on. You are right. It is ridiculously easy and makes an incredible crust. I substituted the canola oil for coconut oil... WOW!! The crust was incredibly flaky!! Thank you for sharing this.
This might be the best instructional pie crust video I've ever seen. So easy to understand. Really grandma/Nana style! ❤❤❤
I knew she was a real grandma she said "my young adult grandchildren who have roped me into doing this"

I wait for the days. I cook with my 2-1/2 yr old grandson right now. I send him to grandpa when things get out of hand and look like nothing is going to be edible! But he sure does love making white dust all over for the dogs to make paw prints in. Makes him laugh so hard while grandma yells for grandpa to come Help me and turn Dragons movie on. That keeps him quiet the entire time grandma keeps busy cleaning up his messes! Gotta love grand toddlers!! Lol
Wow! Your pie crust recipe was so easy to follow, then your video tutorial ended & I realized I wasn't paying attention. Oops! Seems I couldn't take my eyes off your darling apron covered in ripe, red, raining strawberries; reminded me of the coveted Wilendur printed cotton tablecloths from the 40's that I adore.
I much prefer a good pie over a pretty cake. Good thing is, I can watch this again & will be saving your video in my favorites. Thank you for sharing your recipe & techniques. I appreciate your simplicity & genuineness. 🍓
Thank you for listening to your grandchildren. You are an outstandng teacher. Peace and Perfect-Health to you and yours.
This lady is hysterical... love it. She seems so sweet!
she scares me a little with that rolling pin though. looks like she means business
Dan Means: you damned right she means
"BUSINESS"!!!

Hysterical? Informative, yes.
Just tried this and love it, I don’t miss the butter at all. This is so easy, cost effective and delicious. Thanks for a great recipe!!
I'm trying it today because I'm sick of butter prices. Four sticks is running now $5 nearly at Walmart.
What a jewel you are and your grandchildren realize this. There were so many of my favorite recipes of my grandmother and mother that I didn’t get. My mother was one of those that could see a dish and just know what the ingredients was. She did these elaborate wedding cakes, people would come to her instead of the local bakery. Thank you and your grandchildren for sharing this, I will be looking at your other recipes. Do you have a Turkey Dressing recipe and fried chicken.
I started making this crust about 5 or so years ago, after watching your video. I've made a few tweaks to suit me, but my crusts are 100% spot on every time. I'm now known for my pies and my husband demands I make the pies for the holidays. Everyone looks forward to them. Thank you for such a simple and effective pie crust recipe! So many other recipes put so much other stuff in them, and I'm not sure why. This is perfect for sweet or savory.
Wonderful!
I hope your grand babies know how lucky they are to have you! I don't have any grannies, and it always feels like such a loss. This channel is wonderful. ❤
I loved this recipe and video. My son told me, this year he's too old for trick or treating (hes 12) but every year we pick a pumpkin together. He requested a pie and i wanted to give him the best homemade pumpkin pie he will ever remember this year. I was intimidated by making the crust but watching you teach viewers how to make pie crust not only gave me confidence but warmed my heart. I teared. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and techniques and more importantly thank you for the confidence
Ok, I've never in my life left a review for a pie crust until NOW. There's no way you can go wrong with this recipe, I can't thank Nana enough for sharing it. Not sure I would have ! This is the kknd of recipe you inherit! Thank you so so much, Nana!
Thank you so much for this. I'm 56 and after making a pie crust on my twenties that was just horrible, I've relied on good old pre-made. I saw this on reddit and made the prettiest chicken pot pie tonight. It was the easiest thing I've ever made honestly, well besides coffee. The taste was good, can't wait to try it in a sweet pie. Thank you again
Thank you for this lovely video, and LOVE the apron 🍓
You are a natural at this. I could NEVER make pie crust until I made it the way you make it. I was looking for a you tube tutorial for pie crust and found you. This is by far the easiest pie crust I have ever tried to make. And believe me, I tried and tried to make pie crust only to fail over and over. Thank you so much for giving me back my self esteem where pie crust is concerned. You're the best.
Hi Nana...I discovered this recipe a couple of years ago and it has become my go to pie crust recipe. Now my whole family asks me to bake the pies for our family get togethers. I had tried so many recipes with butter and/or shortening only to be left with tough or tasteless pie crusts. Your recipe is so easy...no more pie crust anxiety for me. Thanks to you and your grandchildren for sharing this wonderful, tender, flaky, pie crust recipe.
I loved this easy to learn, straight forward instructions given by this cute Nana!! Thank you so much. I needed a quick crust for Thanksgiving. I prefer it to be homemade but I have not made one in a very long time and forgot how it is done. This is done to perfection. I miss my granny who died when she was 99.5 years young. I always loved watching her cook and bake homemade receipes. Since she has gone home to be with the Lord, none of the children documented the receipes, we wish we had now. I remember some things, but having the actual ingredients are key. Thank God for these smart grandchildren who decided to film these wonderful keepsake receipes. Thank you for sharing them with the world. God bless you and your family, Jesus name, from my family to yours!!! I look forward to viewing many more.
Nana just tried the to make the pie crust and it turned out PERFECT !!!! So much easier than the other videos on that I watched on U Tube. Thank you SOOOOOOOOO Much !!!
Just watched ur video on pie crust. I am a senior and say Bravo Bravo U are down to earth and real. These super cooks make everything so complicated u hate to cook. Ur the BESTIEST
Anything with the word nana and pie deserves a automatic subscribe.
i watched this video to many times to count while i was making dinner tonight. i'm making beef pot pie. i have mad pie crust before but i learned how to make it from this video. i always seems to come back to this video when making pie crust. Thank you for being a great grandma, teacher, and inspiration.
I found your pie crust recipe a few years ago. I've been making it ever since. I now know the recipe by heart, but every so often I come back to watch this video. What's even better than this awesome recipe is your beautiful spirit! God bless!
I want to thank you all for these wonderful comments!! I cant wait to shoot more videos for you this coming year!
easy, nana...put the rolling pin down and take a step back...
Kelly Zahos very good and so

Thank you for all your information. It’s the little things that you do that make a difference. I’m 71 and I still have trouble making a pie crust. After watching you I really feel I can do it. You’re awesome thank you. From Cincinnati, Ohio.
You are so welcome!
I made a pie today. Haven't made a pie from scratch in probably 20 years. I needed some help. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. It is a very delicious, flaky crust. I watched your video a couple of time and then I did it! Thank you so much for your help.
Hi Cathe,
Isn't it wonderful to learn something new that's so useful.Happy baking. Nana
Nana! Thank you! I've tried others... and fail miserably. I love this recipe and I keep referring to it. Thank you for being brave to be on camera, for your wonderful insights and experience. Please don't stop sharing them! Lots of love!
This is the only pie crust I have ever made in 55 years of baking. The reason? It tastes good! For me, other crusts just don't have any flavor. Eating pie is all about the crust. Plus, it's so easy and fool proof. I never chill it before rolling. Makes a delish quiche crust, pot pies, etc. I used to roll out the scraps and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and bake for my daughter. Yum!
My wife is going to love me today...pecan pie here we come!
Thank you, Nana!
I love you Nana. I love your calming voice and your no bs instructions. I have been searching FOREVER for a flaky pie crust without hydrogenated shortening. Your family is so lucky to have you!
I'm here in 2019. and love your video. I cooked a lot when I was 18-19 yrs old. Forgot many recipes that were 2 hands full of this, one of that. Life took me other directions. and over the years, simple things. I never saw using 2 pieces of wax paper, and you won my heart. I'm 64 now, and have time to cook for me and my lovely bride of 12 years. Thank you so much. (She cooks, but is a little younger and still working. I like to surprise her 3-4 times a week).
Nana.....Take a bow, I watched your video several times, i finally tried your recipe. Well friday, i made 4, and i just finished two more. Took the 4 to church and they were in live with the crust.
Thank you sooooo much.
Oh, by the way, last night, I changed the 2 tablespoon to 1/2 cup, added just a little more oil, a tab bit more of water, and that took care of it sticking to the paper, and perfect size to fit the pan
...Do you mean you added 1/2 cp. of flour instead of 2 Tbs. extra? How did it come out??
Jo Anne Keryger i perfected it to my liking so there's more enough to edge the pan. 1/3 cup flour 1/3 cup of oil. i have made a total of 16 pies i am so greatful to NaNa the pie crust are so flakey
...thank you

I made this pie crust for a dutch apple pie this weekend and it was excellent. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you, I was wondering if good for apple pie.
What's the oven temp for pie crust?
Finally!!! So super easy! Thank you for the foundation of all my crusts, forever!
Hi Kat
Isn't it wonderful to discover something so good and so easy1
Oh Nana!! I finally made a pie crust that is good! I'm 55 and have baked my whole life and pie crust NEVER comes out right. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Probably the best pie crust I have ever made. I am 55 and have finally made a good pie crust. Go Nana!
You're grand children are the luckiest to have you :D
Keep making videos
Sending love from Thailand
OMG I love your pie crust, it has taken me a very long time to find the perfect pie crust and I just found it, I am so glad ur grandchildren talked u into this video
After spending the better part of the morning struggling with a shrunken crust (first attempt) this was a godsend! Thank you from India :-)
Hello...Am also from India..when I take the maida with the amount specified in recipe it is very soggy dough..I have to add more flour to it to get desired consistency..Is maida different from what most recipes recommend ?
@@rich27jbp maida is all purpose flour!
@@rich27jbp but diff places have diff quality .. so we need to adjust it here n there..
@@rich27jbp My mother always says ki if you measure with a cup (any cup, not just the baking measure), use that cup to measure everything else out.
Also apparently dry ingredients and wet ingredients have different cups, so eye it till it looks okay! That worked for me. Whatever extras I got, I used to make little 'cookies' to dip in.
I have never bought a pie crust that wasn't too thin. Thanks you for this recipe ! Nana always knows best ! Merci !
What a nice and easy crust you have taught us to make. Thank you for your kind and patience. Your grandchildren have a treasure in you.
This is a game changer for me! I have been using butter all my life and what a mess I have had with it! I tried this recipe with oil and it was so simple, I can't believe I have been doing it wrong all these years! And the hint about the wax paper is genius! No more flour mess everywhere! I knew there was a reason I had it in my kitchen supplies :) Thank you for creating this video and sharing to the world. No more Marie Calllendar's frozen shells for me!
A Star or a Victim hahaha. Nana you have an amazing voice for a career in radio. Love your kitchen and your recipes almost as much as your charm. I knew it ! The very first video I watched - I said to myself -- Nana used to be a school teacher. I LOVE that your grandkids have such admiration & appreciation for you. I dont have to tell you that you are truly blessed. Shine on Nana !

Thank you for your beautiful recipe's ..😋
Gloria, I've used your pie crust recipe for 2 yrs and have had nothing but wonderful results and positive feedback. I love this easy recipe! Thanks for sharing and taking the mystery out of pie making.
What a wonderful lady! To teach that there are no such things as 'mistakes' when you are trying to bake from the heart is a beautiful thing.
Wow, this crust was so easy and best one I’ve had yet! You’re a natural star Nana!
Thanks Nana! You are just like my Aunt Mary who was so patient with me when I was young and learning how to cook. Your instructions were very easy to follow. I look forward to more cooking times with you!
Hi Nana! Following now that I saw you on Reddit. Thank you for sharing. My daughter and I are looking forward to watching! We don't have an older generation in our family any more. Also, you look amazing!
I remembered this video from many years ago because it helped me out in a pinch! This pie crust turned out one of most well received creations So I am delighted to find it again!
I’ve made this recipe over and over and over and over and I will never use another!! Thank you so much for posting this years ago ❤
Thank you so much Nana! This is so much easier than the other recipes I've looked at.
You are wonderful! "If we have problems, we will work with it" Very good advice! Thank you!
My search for the perfect pie crust ends here. Not only is it the easiest, but l just used it with my pecan pie, and it cooked beautifully, and it tastes much better than any other crust l've tried. Couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you so much!
CrashN2Me1000 is it flaky on the bottom?
@@arlynelauro9872 Yes, Arlyne. lt's always flaky, yet it's not dry and crumbling all over the place.
Love the production and Nana you’re a star
Oh my word, this video has been a life saver. I’ve been failing and failing at pie crust and then I found your video. SO easy! Turned out beautifully. You are the sweetest lady, thank you for sharing. Felt like I was learning from my own grandma. 🥰
I've used this recipe a gazillion times for my Mater pies. I add a little Italian spices in the crust for those. I've even made fruit hand pies with them.
THE MOST SINFUL CRUST EVER 😋 AND EASY! BLESS YOU NANA❤
This recipe was SO easy and SO amazing, it saved my life. I was dreading making the crust and almost didn't make the pie I was craving. But this video was so reassuring, I'm glad I watched it. Thank you Nana!!!
Made it as shown...turned out great...will be my go to pie crust from now on!
Nana, Thank you soooooo much for this super easy pie crust recipe! I am a great cook, but a so-so pie crust maker. I made your crust tonight and it couldn't have been easier or better. I made a chocolate pie with it that was amazing. You are a Champion Nana Cook and deserve a huge award! I wish I was one of your grandkids. They are so lucky they are to have you. Yay for Nana!
I just discovered Nana’s Cookery and I made this pastry this morning for an open face apple galette. I mixed up the crust in a jiffy and it was so easy to roll out, didn’t have to fight with the dough like with other pastry recipes. It baked into a beautifully flaky & delicious crust. This is my new go to crust. No more fussing with cold butter or lard and getting frustrated with the dough tearing during rolling! Thanks, Nana!
Hi,
Isn't it wonderful to try something new that really works?Thanks for watching and stay safe! Nana
I’ve been using this recipe for a year now and it is the best simple recipe. I bake all kinds of pies with this recipe and everyone loves the crust. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Nana, I just came across your channel today and YOU ROCK!!! I LOVE your kitchen too. I love how you explain your recipes. Keep them coming. Thanks!!!!!
boy how easy that looks . I am going to try it. thank You ' )
I love this! It is now my "go to" piecrust recipe. Thank you much.
Thank you, bless you, and my family is rejoicing for Nana'a pie crust! Great sense of humor! 🎉
Reviewing this again. Thank you so much for posting. You are Awesome!
I don’t understand how anyone could dislike this video ☺️
😊😊👋🏻
Thank you for this recipe! Quick and easy. I used this pie crust recipe for a lemon meringue pie, and it turned out perfect, nice and flakey..
excellent video, making this crust for many years.Use a pyrex glass cup, fill oil to 1/3 line, water on top of oil to 1/2 cup line, dump on flour salt mix and stir...easy peasy, never fail..thanks..always flaky and tender
Alice thank you. Between you and Nana I made a great blueberry peach pie.
Thanks again.
I tried this crust for Thanksgiving this year and LET ME TELL YOU!! It was the definition of PERFECT! I am so grateful for this recipe, thanks so much for putting this up, nana 🙏🏼 ❤️
Great content Nana-as a 30 yo father who’s the primary cook in our household, the best instructions come from parents and grandparents who have years of experience cooking for their families, because there’s always a strong element of practicality. I want to feed my family well, but I can’t cook like a world class chef every night.
Your a natural in front of the camera Nana...definitely a success! What an incredibly easy recipe. Making sweet potato pies for Thanksgiving and I'm really looking forward to giving this a try. Thanks for posting and have a great holiday!
From my experience, the simpler, the better. Not only is it easier. It's faster, and it tastes better. This crust is my favorite.
Thanks Dear Nana! I'm a 68 YO American ExPat widower raising two teenagers and pies are just not part of Thai culture....so I sought you out on RUclips! This is my second time here too. The first time was a huge deep dish apple pie in a 12' X 16" pan. It was such a hit (especially with me!) that I'm making another one for other ExPat friends!!! Many Blessings, Rollee Rolstone
Thanks for sharing your grandma with us who don't have one or a mother in law that teach us how to cook deliciousness! Very nice I love the honesty of the cooking process!
I have been making this for christmas for almost 5 years now and i watch this every time before making it, thank you so much :)
Happy holidays❤
aww u are so sweet!! 💕 thank you for an amazing recipe ! !
I've always been amazed at famous cooks struggling to get the crust into the pie pan. Why don't they do it the easy way like you and I do. I have made delicious crusts using the same recipe for years. I love how relaxed you are in front of the camera. We need more down to earth cooking shows.
Agree! She is very relaxed in front of camera, and how she keeps reassuring us that not perfect is ok. I love this crust!
Your a STAR !!!! Thank you for your Info. God Bless you and yours.
I have used this recipe over and over. I love this pie crust. Thank you Nana
I am 28.. I have been using this crust for at least 13 years now. Thank you, Nana!
You are so welcome!
