Absolutely great post, PJ! When I was in culinary school, we learned to make pie crust in the mixer. Like Eric said above, when you are making dough for multiple pies, you aren't going to break out the pastry blender or RoboCoup! As a home baker, I have either made them by hand (how I learned originally) or used a food processor (my current favorite technique). I will definitely be trying the mixer next time I make pie. Thanks for adding (re-adding?) another technique to my pie making toolbox!
