I like to try my best to use butter sparingly. But you always need more than 100 g to make pie crust. I aimed for a recipe that wouldn't use too much butter and still be a delicious crust, so I made this. With this recipe, even stingy me can deal with using some butter!

When you're gathering the dough together, be careful not to knead it! If it doesn't completely lump together, it will all stick together nicely when you roll it out. Recipe by Kobashi-
