I love my pie crust. And I've learned that pie crust and pie in general, is a very personal thing. If you loved your mom's pie, chances are, nothing else is good enough. So I don't ask anymore. I make it, if it gets eaten, must've been good, if not, must've not been to their taste and take no offense. But I really, really hate when people go to all the bother to make a "homemade" pie and use a store bought pie crust. Because I taste it straight away. Huge difference and so NOT worth the calories. My tricks are.... 1-mix 1/2 KAF whole wheat flour with 1/2 plain white flour 2-mix 1/2 lard with 1/2 salted butter 3-use ice cold water 4-refrigerate the dough before rolling it out if it's a warm day 5-cover the edges with foil or protector Love this blog....you guys are the best!
