Hmm. I'm going to have to try that. I've gotten fairly decent with pie crust myself, although I always use vegetable shortening and not butter. (Lard is apparently truly superior, but I don't make anywhere near enough pies to justify having that on hand.) I didn't know that you couldn't overwork dough until water was added to it. I gave up on forks, knives, and pastry cutters some time ago when I discovered that fingers did it much more quickly.
