You can’t make a decent pie crust without lard! :)

When I was a kid, my aunt made her own lard and her pies were the only ones I actually liked to eat the crusts. Haven’t had one in 50 years..........................

True, I have to use Crisco. Lard gives me terrible heartburn.

I can. One starts with unsalted butter, melt it in a pot on the stove gently and let the 6%-7% of water in most butters cook off. Then chill it over night along with two cups of flour and some water.
Use a food processor to cut 2/3 cup of the chilled butter into 2 cups of flour, I tsp of salt and 1-2 tbsp of cold water.
If you don’t like this pastry it’s because you’re wrong.
