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

LOL!
So you’re basically making pie crust with gee? I could live with that. :)
Grandma’s recipe calls for a little bit of vinegar (1/2 tsp?) in her pie crust. Ever heard of that?
