I rest my case as to my ability to make a decent pie crust

I could probably learn I suppose.

What can be helpful is

1. - After the dough is mixed well, form patties from it and put them in separate plastic bags and then in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

2. - If you have a large enough plastic bag, put the dough patty in it and leave it there while rolling out the dough. You can also put down a sheet of plastic wrap, sprinkle a little flour and then add the dough patty. Next sprinkle a little flour on the patty before covering with another piece of plastic wrap. Now roll out the dough.

This is the pie crust I used. I always use the lard recipe. Tenderflake make lard as well. My mother and wife have always made pie crusts using the tenderflake never fail pie crust recipe on the back of the lard container I’ll check for a link to the recipe.

I roll my pie crusts out between 2 pieces of waxed paper dusted with flour. Remove the waxed paper from one side, flip the pie crust over onto the pie pan and peel off the other piece of waxed paper.
I use 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening in my pie crust. Butter has nice flavor, but makes a tougher crust. The shortening makes a tender, flaky crust but not very flavorful. So, 1/2 and 1/2 is the best of both worlds.

That's how I do my pie crusts too.

do you put in a bottom crust? that means double love my hubby says

My Mom always put in a bottom crust when making Partridge Pie. My step-mom makes Baking Powder Biscuits instead of pie crusts, so we had Partridge in gravy on biscuits.
I love Partridge Pie, but I don't bird hunt so I will probably never have it again.

I wonder if Guinea Hen tastes like Partridge.

P.S. When I say Partridge, what I am actually talking about is Ruffed Grouse.
