If you are looking to perfect or learn to make a great, flaky pie crust I have come across a great recipe from a well known baker. Martha Stewart has anamazing and easy pie crust that's perfect for all your pies, sweet or savory. Remember all ingredients need to be COLD!! I recomend measuring your flour, butter and water and putting it in the freeer for 30 min. that way you ensure everything is cold and your crust comes out flakey.

3 Then slowly, while pulsing, add the water until you can form the dough by pressing it between your fingers.
4 Decant the loose dough onto a piece of plastic wrap.
5 Using the wrap, fold the loose dough towards the middle and press with the back of your hands to form dough.
6 Split into two pieces and wrap each and chill for at least 4 hours before using.
