I saw Suicidal Tendencies from the barrier last Thu. Got handed a pick. After had a romantic weekend with the wife. Sunday night started coughing and returned a positive covid test. I had no choice but to wear a mask and fly home. The flight was late. Then Uber has taken over the old taxi rank and I spent 20 min trying to get a taxi. Ended up having to bus and train home. Tried to sit alone as much as I could. Home now. Filling in police checks for my new job.

So, I'll get back to the health post in a moment. All of you rock in those comments.
But let's talk pies and specifically pie crust. Roll with me for a bit. Here in the US, Thanksgiving will be later this week, and in addition to turkey, there must be pies. To keep things in context, my wife and I are a bit of necessary foodies. Raising our huge family there was no money for prepped food. Taking the family out was an annual thing. So, in the early 90s, you would see our family assault Sam's Club - think Costco, but we didn't have a Costco at the time. The older boys would fan out for the bulk flour and rice, a couple of gallons of olive oil - it was very entertaining for those watching us
Keeping with the necessity of scratch cooking, we always made our own pies. Pie crust, etc. This was during early 80s to early 90s. Then around about late 90s, I tried to make a pie again. And the Crisco recipe was garbage. Crust came out soggy. My wife shifted over to butter, but even that did not satisfy me. I wanted that flakey crust. Grr. So, I started researching, and holy elephant, did I find a lot of irate bakers. Turns out Crisco changed their recipe for the ostensible reason of making it healthier. Your baked goods sucked, but hey price of progress. Don't get me wrong, we did not have pie every night. But when we did, I had 11 sad faces trying to eat soggy crust pie.
So, shortly, I am off to the grocery store to buy lard. And I am curious, how many out there, assuming you cook, still use it? I know if you want real Mexican refried beans, you must use the lard. It's a fat content issue.

That's why you need to adapt your recipes when the ingredients change.
Crisco still works well (at least the last time I tried)
Lard also still works well; obviously, it also add different flavors.

Max, believe me, we have tried. It's wife my wife just gave up and started using all butter. I'm not really surfing for a solution. We have a disparate group on this site, and maybe they might know something I don't.... about pies.

You can have mine for free. It's homemade.

is there a Crisco museum where you can find the original recipe?

I never found it. Over decades, any time I needed to remember the crust recipe, I just looked on the back of the Crisco can. It's never changed. I suppose somewhere someone has a picture of the original ingredients that went into the product.

I searched google images with βcrisco pie crust water flourβ and found a lot of old images.
Really interesting are the recipes that include a bit of baking soda and vinegar. It seems like that combo would produce micro bubbles in the dough.
Baking is top of mind with US Thanksgiving holiday arriving soon.

Many years ago Penn & Teller came out with a book titled βHow To Play With Your Foodβ. In it they included a recipe for some biscuits that you could copy and leave out at your work in the break room or wherever for your friends or coworkers to find. Of course, two of the ingredients just happened to be baking soda and vinegar.
