"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:

Combine flour, salt & sugar in large bowl.

Cut in fat using pastry cutter or your finger tips. Dough will eventually look like it has peas in it.

Gradually pour in starter, a little at a time. Just until it comes together. Depending on humidity and the water content of your fat this may be more or less than 1 Cup.

Once the dough barely comes together, gather it up in a bowel into a cohesive mass and cover it up with plastic wrap place the bowl on a plate. This is just in case the dough rises to much. Leave it in a warm place for at least 7 hours to culture.

When ready transfer to freezer or refrigerate. This is crucial the fat must be cold to aid in a flakey crust.

Once its cold remove it and roll it out and put into your pie plates.

Personal Notes:
This is the best pie crust I have ever had, it is very light and flaky. I loved it for my blueberry pie. The other recipes I tried the top of the crust was extremely hard, not very edible.
