Warning: My aunt's 'simple' pie crust advice from Thanksgiving nearly ruined my filling
She told me to 'just add more water until it feels right' in her kitchen, which turned my dough into a sticky paste. Has anyone else gotten a tip that sounded good but totally backfired?

My grandma in Toledo always said the same thing about pie dough and her crusts were perfect. Sometimes the problem isn't the advice but the person trying to follow it without enough practice. That "feel right" stage comes from experience you just don't get from a written recipe. Honestly, blaming a simple tip seems like an easy way out when the real issue was probably rushing or not knowing what to look for.

Totally agree with @noahchen, my aunt said the same about biscuit dough.
