Pie Crust Tips
By Addie
The pockets of fat make the flakiness in the crust
- For flaky pastry, use both butter and shortening for flavor and flakiness.
- Lard and shortening produce the most tender crusts. You may use half lard or shortening and half butter if you want the buttery flavor.
- Keep the butter, shortening and water cold.
- For best results, refrigerate ALL ingredients prior to making the dough - even the flour.
- Use both flour and cake flour for tender pastry.
- Use only enough cold water to hold together the dough and handle the dough as little as possible.
- For a flakier crust, substitute ice cold sour cream or heavy cream for the water.
