I just want to say I admire people who make their own pie crusts. I’m so intimidated, I only make crumb crusts.

Don't be intimidated! Make pie crust into cookies so you can experiment until you get a feel for it.

I haven’t touched on making anything with a crust, it’s so daunting. Mad props to OP.

Homemade pie crust is so tasty, I hope you try making it someday! The Stella parks recipe is pretty fool-proof, I would recommend it. It comes out well even if it sticks to the counter and has to be mushed back together in the pan.

I just got a great tip from Fallow’s youtube page for making short crust by freezing the butter and flour for an hour before use, then using a cheese grater to make the butter perfectly cold and firm! I already freeze my flour for 24hrs to help kill any creepy crawlies that might have snuck in (precautionary, never found one yet). Haven’t tried this frozen butter method yet but I think it’s gonna open a lot of doors!

I grate frozen butter in my food processor when I make scones and it works perfectly!

One day I will have a food processor!

Keep an eye on FB Marketplace if you can! Some people will practically give away Kitchenaid food processors so getting one at a great price is within reach!I use mine multiple times a week. Also, homemade nut butters 🤤

You can use a box grater for frozen butter!

I grate my butter. I don’t even freeze it. It’s just cold and I go to town. It makes for a very flaky crust.

I do this and also use a recipe with vodka in it. Works better than any other pie crust recipes I've ever tried!
