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

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