Or butter and some rendered leaf lard. But I found my all butter crust worked better than the Cook's Illustrated Version. You just have to work quickly and not overwork the dough.

I think I'll go straight home and try it out. As for pie crusts...I've been making pie crusts completely without fear since I tried Cook's Illustrated foolproof pie crust recipe which was published in the November 1, 2007 issue. The main secret to this recipe is replacing some of the water with vodka. Gluten, which helps to make a fantastic pizza crust and a lousy pie crust, forms easily in water but not at all in ethanol. By replacing some of the water with vodka (40% ethanol, 60% water) your dough will retain the correct wet/dry ratio but with less of the gluten forming water. It looks like a similar recipe might be published in the September 2010 issue. I’ve been looking for a good bourbon peach pie recipe, and this one looks like it might be the winner.

I am trying to think of possible replacements, but I'm a bit nervous about using a regular cake pan (especially since the smallest we have is around 24cm - about 9.5" - and also seems deeper than the dish in your pictures) or a tart pan (also larger than 9", but shallow - maybe too shallow?). Neither seem exactly right. If you do see this over the next few hours, can you offer any advice on this? I'd hate to ruin a pie this awesome. Thanks!!

I have made it three times, and each time I have been told it is the BEST pie that they have ever eaten! One person just came up to me, plate of pie in hand, whimpering, pointing to the pie, and whimpering some more....pie'd speechless...high praise indeed :-) It is a pretty easy pie to pull together. Only change I made was to the crust, mixing 1/3 cup water with 4 tbsp half & half, and adding it to the flour/butter mixture.as well as a sprinkle of cinnamon to the dry ingredients...flaky, yummy crust indeed!

Who knows. By the way, do you think it'll work with figs, as well? Our fig trees are overflowing. And the flavours seem like they can fit, but I'm not sure.
