Notes
**If you don't have unsalted butter, it's not the end of the world. Use salted butter and omit the extra salt
*ALL of your ingredients need to be ICE COLD before starting your pie crust. The colder they are, the more time you have. Room temperature ingredients plus the heat of your hands will cause your dough to be sticky and nearly impossible to handle.
FREEZE your bowl, rolling pin, grater & dough scraper/spatula for hours before you begin - if not overnight. The difference this makes is astronomical. It is truly the difference between you getting the best pie crust ever or having a total meltdown in the kitchen (pun intended).
** If you want to skip the Sourdough Pie Crust altogether, go for it! Buy ready-made pie crust from the store and roll it out until it fits your pie plate. Place into the plate and just make the filling. It'll take way less time and honestly still super delicious!
