I usually chill my flour and even pop the mixing bowl in the fridge for a bit before starting. This really helps in making the crust extra flaky.

Hey! For a perfect pecan pie crust, keep it cool and don’t overwork the dough. Use chilled butter and add a splash of vinegar to help it stay tender. And for extra flavor, try adding a bit of cinnamon to the mix!

I recommend going for a graham cracker crust. It is made from crushed graham crackers mixed with sugar and melted butter. The sweet and slightly crumbly texture of a graham cracker crust adds a nice contrast to the smooth filling.
