I have the hardest time making crust from scratch. I've tried the chilled butter method, using lard, and using shortening, but just can't get it to work. I'm tired of having to use janky pre-made crusts when I want pie. Please help!
Crisco is definitely the way to do it. Use ice water when mixing the dry with the wet and generally don't listen to any of the recipes; You have to "feel" it. Most recipes seem to call for too much water which makes it fall apart.
I struggle to make good home-made pie crust too. It never turns out the way I want it. So I end up using pre-made crusts out of necessity.
Excellent idea, Conundrum.
I love key lime pie!
This is my go to recipe; but, I like to substitute a (pre-made) crushed oreo crust for the graham cracker crust. The chocolate sets off the key lime quite nicely!

Since I'm diabetic, I can only eat a couple bites a day but that only makes the pie last longer.![]()

I have a recipe that substitutes 1/4 cup of water with vodka. Gives the dough pliancy without adding too much water and making it super sticky. The alcohol cooks off and leaves no after taste. The recipe is the "fool proof pie crust" from Cooks Illustrated. Its never failed me.

What dessert is prevalent in your country? I'm always looking to try something new.
You are missing out. Pie is delicious and there are hundreds (thousands?) of different recipes!
