She's right. There are many ways to skin a cat and just as many ways to make pie paste. My grandmother's receipt for one crust that every one seems to love: 11/4 C flour, 1 pinch salt, 1/4 C butter (no substitute) 1/4 C lard and approximately 4 T (or more) cold water. Double receipt for a fruit pie with a lid. Enjoy!
