Beautiful timing on the pastry ideas! I get to do all of Thanksgiving dinner this year.
Lucky me! 
I’m going to Costco to get my pies, but every once in a while I can’t fit everything in my fridge, so I like making my own small human-sized pies.
 I have a pastry cutter!  Learned that in junior high Home EC!  (see Mrs. Waterbury, I WAS paying attention!)

 I also freeze my butter and use the grater

 And I use a fork after the pastry cutter to blend any remaining flour.

I do have King Arthur flour somewhere, but I’m so used to using Gold Medal flour to make tortillas and pastry (empanadas, etc) so that is what I tend to use. My kids use the King Arthur and some Flour from Trader Joe’s.
Thank you for all of your great tips! Your timing was beautiful!
