No, it's not:

This recipe works!

The key is the resting/chilling period of 20 mins. Use it, then
modify per your situation.

The key to a good crust is this: Cut the butter/shortening very
coarse. Corn kernel size or bigger. Then, do not chill too long. A too cold
dough will split at the edges, when rolling. A too warm dough will melt while
rolling. Ony experience will make you a practiced crust maker. It's
worth the effort.

Good luck
