Lard and butter is the way to go. My Mom went through a healthy eating kick that extended to pie..... Not good. We all argued that it didn't matter since she made 4-8 pies a year and buttery crust was more important to mental health than cardboard "healthy" depressing crust. I will try and find her crust recipe and post it up as well, been in the family for a lot of years.
Please do! I cook a great deal but don’t bake very much. I love cherry pie and would love to be able to make a good pie crust. I’ll admit it intimidates me. The frozen store bought ones are icky.
