I finally made pie crust with vegetable shortening and it was flakier than any butter version I've tried
Why does everyone swear by butter for pie dough when shortening gives a better texture in my experience?

Get it, shortening makes the flakiest crust.

No way, the trick is really cold butter in my book, @colegarcia. You just don't get the same flavor with shortening.

Wait, shortening? I thought butter was the key to flaky crust.
