Modern conveniences. My mother had a special tool to cut butter into flour but it was still manual labor.
[ Now that he's shared a little about that time, it's easier to mention the afternoons standing in the kitchen with his mom. He can remember standing at the counter and reaching into the bowl with the pastry cutter, if only barely. Still, better to get back to the task at hand. ]
We'll add the rest of the flour next. Same thing in the food processor.
[ It's a quick measure and then a short five more spins in the machine. At the end it's much drier and clearly not ready to be pie dough. ]
We'll need to add cold water to the dough next to make it come together. Grab a bowl and dump the dough in, then grab your water and add it a bit at a time, mixing it into the dough until it all sticks together.
[ John takes the container off the food processor and leaves it on the counter for her to do the next steps. ]
