Excellent & enticing description! If you prepared the crust in a food processor would the size of the cheese and butter bits get too small? I do lots and lots of pies and love to try new approaches to crusts--but I learned something here I never saw or heard before--to roll the SIDES of the ball to be chilled in a bit of flour to prevent it cracking later when it is rolled. Great tip! Thank you for an informative and entertaining article. With your sense of humor and down-to-earth approach to the Fynne Arte of Bakingge, you should be writing cookbooks! Thanks! When using a powerful appliance like a food processor, you need to balance: Butter temperature, and pulsing time. This can be a challenge. I find it is best to begin with evenly cut cubes of cold butter. Frank @ KAF.
