Made a choice between butter and shortening for my pie crust last weekend

Ngl, I've always used butter cause it tastes better, but my crusts never came out flaky. I tried a 50/50 mix with shortening for a apple pie last Saturday and it actually turned out way better. The crust held together and still had that buttery taste. Has anyone else found a decent ratio that works for them?

Wait, you're telling me there's a way to have crust that's both flaky and tastes like butter? I've been out here eating sad, crumbly discs for years when I could have just cheated with shortening.

Lard beats both of em for flaky crusts if you can find it.
