That comment about using cold water for pie crust changed my baking

Last weekend I tried making a pie from scratch and the dough kept falling apart. I saw this random comment on a baking video that said use ice water and keep everything cold. I stuck the bowl in the fridge for 10 minutes between steps and it worked perfectly. First time my crust actually held together without getting greasy. Has anyone else found a random comment that totally fixed a recipe fail?

Tried the same trick after reading it somewhere. Works every time now.

Glad that tip worked out for you, always nice when a fix actually sticks.
