Most American pie crusts, and American baked goods in general are crap because they are full of crappy ingredients.

I've adapted grandma's pie crust recipe to use frozen butter instead of Crisco.  I've never met a decent (grocery) store bought pastry, ick.

Good for you. I have never used one but I have had "home made" pies that were made with them.  They are, IMO, inferior to real home made pie dough. The worse home made pie crust is probably better than the best store bought. However, we have to accept the sad fact that some people really struggle with dough making and rolling.  It is not just a matter of convenience because they just can't do it.  I consider myself lucky to have learned how to make it and that I find it easy.

Luckily I got the hang of it fairly easily.  I found that cold butter is a much better texture than Crisco.  I've never tried lard, that will be a project for some day.

I usually use Crisco for dessert pies and lard for savory pies. It is important not to cut the fat too fine. You need to have chunks of fat in there to get a flaky pastry.

 Officer Dave, should you be eating Crisco and lard and shit with your serious cardiac condition? I remember reading many posts where you told of your dramatic near death experiences. Plus your posts crowing about all the diagnostics, treatments, and surgeries, which you obtained FREE from the canadian government.
 So, now you're just gonna eat Crisco and blow it all away, after the taxpayers have graciously funded the patching of your failing, rotten heart?
 Damn Dave, I hope they don't spread trash all over your grave.
 Master Bruce will probably put some nice flowers on top off all the trash though.
