Pies

A flaky, fork-tender crust is easy if you follow these simple steps.

• Start with cold ingredients, like ice water, butter and shortening
• Add spoonfuls of water, just until the dough holds together
• Be careful not to overmix; overmixing toughens your dough
• Chill you dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out
• To prevent sticking, roll your dough out on a floured surface, and flour your rolling pin too.
