Remember when I asked about pie crusts a few yrs ago and rfc launched
into a huge thread about pie crusts? I was so frustrated, I gave up
trying and went back to buying frozen crusts. Well today, I didn't
wanna drive to town or spend the $$, so tried making another crust.
Yikes! It came together like I'd been making pie crusts all my life.
Rolled out flawlessly, went into old frozen 9" deep pan I kept from
frzn. Had more than enough. Even trimmed up some excess and tossed
it. What happened? Got me. I used this simple AB recipe:

6 oz GM flour
3 oz cold butter
1 oz warm Crisco (eyeballed)
1 tsp salt
3-4 tblsp ice water (jes added til it came together and felt right)

Refrigerated for about 30 mins, then rolled out with cheapo $3 rolling
pin. Not too greasy, no splitting cuz too cold, etc. Easy-peasy.

That's it! Took about 30 mins, total time. Now in the oven as a
pecan pie. Amazing! Too bad it's Summer. I'll be pie baking next
Winter like I'm "the pie lady".
