Cheryl, it sounds like your butter may have been too soft (too warm) or there was not enough flour added to the mixture. It could have also been over-mixed, but it's hard to get the ingredients to form one clump if your butter and shortening are both very cold, as recommended. Try making those small adjustments next time to see if you get more of a crumb-like mass as a result. You'll need to freeze your pie crust if you'd like to store it longer than 2-3 days. Kye@KAF
