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'm a shortening kind of dude. I've used butter before when making a
shortcrust. I wasn't happy with it. It might be easier for people to use
butter up North where it's colder. It might be better for folks closer
to the equator to use Crisco. I used to be into meat pies - they are
delicious! I've made meat pies with pizza dough but that's no fun at
all.
 I made some biscuits this morning with butter. I wanted to try out a new
recipe. It's the same as a regular biscuit except that you use a stupid
amount of baking powder - 2 tablespoons. It seemed like a typo but the
biscuits come out pretty good. I'm a believer - it's a stupid amount of
baking powder in biscuits from now on!
