ok now on to pies.
don't gag, this is the truth as spoken by martha of mock.
LARD makes the absolute best flakiest pie crust!
do not use shortening, the South had this right.
don't melt it either. cut it in with one of these pastry cutters. if you have a marble board, all the better,they stay cold. the colder the surface, the less melting of the fat.
trust me on this.
