"Delicious shortbread crust. A few comments, though: 1) yields 2 pies, or one double crust; 2) I think baking powder may be omitted, since the shortbread rises very high and 3) may add 1/2 to 1 tsp sal..." See moret, to make it even more shortbready."

"Quick and easy to make crust. I refrigerated the dough for a half hour before baking, pricked the crust on the bottom to keep it from "poofing" up too much, and added 1 tsp. of vanilla for flavour. ..." See moreQuick, easy and delicious. I agree with the previous review; it yields two crusts. Great with the Fresh Strawberry Pie I."
