[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my mom's recipe and I believe it is the absolute best. You need half butter for flavor and half Crisco or good quality lard for texture. Martha Stewart is not good at all! I have that book and the fillings are great but forget the crust. 2 C flour 1/3 C butter 1/3 C Crisco or lard 1 tsp salt 5-7 T ice water You can do the flour, salt, and fat in the food processor but mix in the drops of ice water by hand, gently tossing the crumbles with a fork. Then press together gently into two discs and chill. It will be crumbly and difficult to work with and it takes a lot of practice to make it pretty but it's so good![/quote] This is the best. All butter is hard and not flaky, and all lard is flaky but not flavorful (or tastes slightly of bacon!). All Crisco is good but I am done with factory food. Half butter, half lard is the best![/quote]
