I have an easier solution...I once read that if you use a rolling pin cover (my grandma, who was nurse a long time ago, used to give me lengths of cast covering :) your crust will come out flaky every time. It really works! Plus I use a recipe I once got off of a shortening can...it's easy and very good. One more trick I use: if you're making a sweet pie, add a little cinnamon or nutmeg, or even both, to the crust dough...yummmm.
