OUR FAVORITE PIE CRUST RECIPE-HOW TO MAKE A TENDER PIE CRUST
From the King Arthur Flour recipe: "We figure we can't repeat too often our formula for the flakiest, most tender pie crust - so here it is. The instructions are thorough, and the method can apply to your own favorite crust recipe. The method you use to put pie pastry together will, to some degree, determine the type of crust you end up with. Our latest favorite pie crust recipe uses a combination of butter (for flavor) and lard or vegetable shortening (for flakiness); an unbleached flour of about 10.5% protein (such as our Mellow Pastry Blend); buttermilk powder (for tenderness) and baking powder (for extra flakiness); salt; and vinegar (again, for tenderness) and water. Here's the formula for a single-crust pie; just follow the directions above."

Steps:
- For a flaky, tender crust (as opposed to one that's harder, mealy, and more cookie-like), the following works well.
- Whisk together all of the dry ingredients, reserving a few tablespoons of the flour.
- Cut in half of the fat, working the mixture until it's mealy and crumbly.
- Place the reserved flour on your work surface, and coat the remaining fat with the flour.
- Use a rolling pin or the heel of your hand to flatten the fat till it's about 1/2-inch thick.
- Break this flour-coated fat into 1-inch pieces, and mix it into the dough, just till it's evenly distributed; some of the pieces of flour-coated fat should break into smaller pieces.
- Sprinkle the liquid(s) over the dough while tossing with a fork.
- Just as soon as the dough becomes cohesive (i.e., you can squeeze it into a ball easily), stop mixing; there should still be visible pieces of fat in the dough.
- Flatten the dough into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap or waxed paper.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer; this resting period allows the flour to absorb the water, making the dough easier to roll out.
- Flour your work surface and roll the dough into a 12 x 9-inch (approximately) rectangle.
- (If it isn't holding together well, sprinkle it lightly with a couple of teaspoons of water.
- Fold the dough into thirds (like a letter), then fold it into thirds the opposite way, to form a rough square. Wrap it well and refrigerate again.).
- When you're "ready to roll," remove the dough from the fridge.
- If the dough is made with all lard and/or vegetable shortening, you'll be able to work with it directly from the refrigerator.
- A dough made with all butter will need to warm slightly (10 to 15 minutes) before rolling, as butter becomes brittle when it's refrigerated.
- Dough made with a combination of butter and shortening should rest for about 5 minutes at room temperature before rolling.
- Roll the dough to the size needed (about 13 inches for a 9-inch pie).
- Fill and bake as directed in your recipe.
- Note: in this particular recipe, cut all of the lard or vegetable shortening into the flour, then coat the butter with flour before adding it to the dough.

MOST TENDER PIE CRUST
Adapted from Grandma! Lard produces one of the most tender and flakiest crusts out there, but the key (thanks WCA) is to buy a good quality, not over-processed or hydrogenated brand (i.e. Tenderflake) to avoid any "off" aftertaste. Grandma swore by her pie crust for years until Crisco took over the supermarket (sad since lard is actually cheaper and healthier than butter, containing less saturated fat, more monounsaturated fat and has no additives or impurities, like non-organic butter has (i.e. colour, antibiotics and hormones in cow feed) - this is simply her formula updated for the 21st century.

Steps:
- In a large bowl with a pastry blender or two knives, cut lard into flour and salt until particles are the size of small peas.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup flour, the water and the vinegar, whisk until smooth.
- Pour all at once into lard/flour mixture; stir with a fork just until the ingredients are combined.
- Divide dough in half, wrap each in plastic wrap and chill a minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight (I tried skipping this once - don't!).
- Roll out and bake as your recipe directs.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, and sugar until well combined. Using clean hands, add butter and toss until just coated. Rub butter between thumb and forefingers to incorporate into flour mixture until butter is in lima bean-sized pieces and comes together in quarter-sized clumps when squeezed in palm, about 2 minutes. Add shortening, toss until just coated in flour, then rub into flour mixture until mixture forms pea-size pieces (some big chunks should remain) and comes together in fist-sized clumps when squeezed, about 1 minute. Drizzle in half ice water and rake through mixture with fingers until just moistened. Drizzle in remaining water 1 tablespoon at a time and comb through mixture with fingers to moisten. It will go from being a shaggy mess to coming together. Dough is moist enough when it is moistened through but is not wet when pressed. (Do not overwork the dough or it will become tough.)
- While rotating the bowl with 1 hand, push dough between other palm and side of bowl to gather into a ball. Turn dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, press it into a flat disk, then close in wrap. Place in coldest part of refrigerator (usually back bottom shelf) at least 30 minutes before rolling out and forming into a crust.

Steps:
- Blend flour, sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter; using on/off turns, process until coarse meal forms. Add 8 tablespoons ice water and cider vinegar; blend until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough together. Turn dough out onto work surface; divide dough in half. Form each half into ball and flatten into disk. Wrap disks separately in plastic; refrigerate at least 1 hour. (Can be made ahead. Keep dough refrigerated up to 2 days, or enclose in resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 1 month, then thaw in refrigerator overnight. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
