I used to think my grandma's pie crust recipe was too simple to be good

Then I visited the little bakery in Sisters, Oregon, and saw they were selling a 'rustic apple tart' that looked exactly like hers. The baker told me his secret was just flour, salt, lard, and ice water, no fancy ingredients. It made me realize the old way is often the best way. Has anyone else had a family recipe proven right by a pro?

Got her lard brand?

Saw a whole thread about how the cheap store brand is actually the same stuff as the name brand. Just comes in a different box.
