My most recent experiment with pie crust is using half clarified butter, a little browned and half butter. That keeps all the flavor of butter, and more because of the browned butter, while reducing the amount of moisture inherent in the all butter crust. It is working well.
I have been working on my pie crust technique for years now. This one is a winner.
