Is pie crust better with butter or Crisco?

The pros: Butter has the best flavor and it forms light, lofty, flaky layers in pie crust. The cons: Butter can be harder to work with than lard or shortening because of its lower melting point, so the dough temperature has to be just right. If it gets too warm, it will be too soft to handle and will tear easily.

Place the pie on the baking sheet and bake until the edges of the crust are just starting to turn golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
