I made a pumpkin pie yesterday and made my own pie crust but I used butter in place of shortening in the recipe and the end result was thick and gummy and I was wondering if the using butter messed it up?? Here is the recipe:
2 C flour
3/4 C shortening (I used butter)
1/2 C ice water
1/4 tsp salt
I processed the cubed cold butter with the flour and salt and then slowly added the water until it formed a loose dough. Dumped it on some plastic wrap and chilled over night until I needed it the next day. It was really hard to roll out and like I said it was really thick and gummy.
