Beautiful,
When you get a chance I would like to know what fat(s) you used in that spectacular crust.

Those are beauties. I especially admire the lattice work! Your dining mates are very lucky!

paste lattice work. Beautiful! Nothing like.....PIE!!!! Never had a bad one and yours are terrific.
Thanks everyone for the kind words! Jeff, it's just butter. I am in Switzerland at the moment so I'm using Euorpean butter which is higher fat that the regular US stuff. I can report that the crust was tender, flaky and very flavorful. To me the secret is doing it by hand, without a food processor, and VERY minimal handling. The dough cracks and falls apart all over the place while I'm rolling it out and putting it in the pan. I just press it back together where I need to. I also like to leave my crust relatively thick, which is why you can see the layers puff up in the lattice. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
