My Grandmother and Mom's recipe flour, cold butter, salt and ice water...let it rest. Treat the dough gently like an old friend and you will have a perfect pie. I watched Mom make pies through out my childhood and my daughter did the same. Our grandson started making the filling for pumpkin pie from our garden pumpkins, he was 2. At 24, he makes the pumpkin pies for every holiday meal. Tradition taken through the generations.
