Tried frozen grated butter for pie crust and it actually worked

I was making a cherry pie for my sister's birthday last weekend and could NOT get my butter cold enough. Put a stick in the freezer for 20 min, grated it on a box grater, and the crust came out flakier than any I've made before. Has anyone else tried this shortcut?

lol that frozen grated butter hack is a lifesaver.

nah grated butter ruins the texture, cold cubes or nothing.
