Hi, Though it may be tempting to overwork the dough, I believe gently handling it and letting it rest in the fridge before rolling it out yields superior results

Hey there! For me, the key to a flaky and delicious pie crust is keeping everything cold – the butter, the water, even the flour! I also like to use a combination of butter and shortening for extra flakiness. Oh, and don't forget to handle the dough gently and not overwork it. That way, you'll end up with a crust that's tender and melts in your mouth. Happy baking!
