All Butter Pie Crust
I went to make my strawberry pie the other day and I found that I did not have any Crisco, my go-to fat for making pie crust. My dau keeps telling me to use all butter instead. She says it's way better tasting and everyone is doing that now. I tried it, since that was all that I had. I found a recipe for it online. OMG...it was terrible! Maybe it was just the recipe, maybe it was me, but that pie crust was like cardboard...maybe even plywood! I'm an experienced pie maker and my crusts always come out amazing. (If I do say so myself.) I know not to overwork the dough, or add too much water. The crust looked good after it was baked, but everyone's face dropped as they tried to take a bite. I had to pick mine up and take a firm chomp. I even left some of it on my plate. It did taste buttery though. The strawberries were great, so all was not lost.
