Notes
I like to roll out the remaining dough into crusts and place waxed paper in-between, place in zip-loc gallon freezer bags and either refrigerate or freeze. A couple of tips to keep in mind for making the perfect crust are:
Refrigerate all ingredients, even the flour, prior to making the recipe.
You can use half lard, and half shortening for an even flakier crust.
Handle as little as possible with your hands.
