#baking After much playing with butter, shortening, flour, and water - I finally figured out pie dough
Huzzah 🥳
Have been trying for decades. No such luck.
@LnzyHou I watched so many videos from King Arthur Baking Co, Clair Saffitz, Sally’s Baking Addiction. I think grating frozen butter and using ice water, not cold, may be the path to success

It's an art. My mom made the best pie crusts ever. And homemade biscuits. Her daughter isn't quite as successful.
Best pie makers ever have tried to teach me. They say I work the dough too much. It’s compulsive I guess.
My mother always said there are cake bakers & pie makers. No one does both well.
We are the cake bakers. Pecan Rum cake is my specialty.

My Mom, when she was in her prime, did both cakes & pies well, may she rest in peace. I was partial to the pies. And she made a terrific pineapple upside down cake.

Pineapple upside-down cake is my favorite.

Have never known anyone expert at both. Lucky you.
