Mom: I do half Crisco, half butter. The Crisco for flakiness, the butter for flavor.

Ever try butter flavor Crisco? My mother swore by lard for the best pie crust.

I don’t try items that have butter in them because I’m afraid they’re imitation. So I generally use real butter. I’m making a Victoria Sponge right now and the butter is coming down to room temp. I wish I could get lard from a butcher; I either use the Hormel stuff or Crisco.
