I used the food processor and did the minimal pulse thing, made sure it was pea-sized, everything, just like in all the videos I've watched...to the letter.
I made that second pie regardless,patchworked or not it came out looking pretty good. So after it had cooled a little here I am, dying to taste it, cut a slice, all good so far, even flaky.. take a bite and good god it was like a salt cake LOL..
I'd used two cups of flour, two teaspoons of salt and salted butter.. I should have reduced the salt and/or used the unsalted butter.. No more making pie that late in the evening when I'm tired LOL
Fear not though, I won't give up... I bought a half dozen granny smiths today and a fresh bag of cake and pastry flour.
