With insightful tips on technique that ensures a flaky, delicious crust every time, this cookbook should be a staple in bakers’ arsenals.

The first step to making perfect pie crust is the perfect flour. A good baker knows that all-purpose works just fine, but some bakers prefer a combination of both pastry and cake flour for a light, crisp crust. Once you’ve settled on the flour you’re using, you’ll be able to move on to the next step – finding the perfect fat for your recipe. Whether you choose butter, lard, shortening, or even a combination of these, it’s important to remember to keep the pieces of fat about the size of peas, and to chill them before you roll them out. This ensures that your crust will get that flaky texture.

When using a blender, food processor, or stand mixer, make sure to pulse and not mix. Over-mixing can result in a tough texture and flattened layers. You want to be sure to stop blending before all the ingredients are totally combined and just enough that your crust will hold together when pressed in between your fingers.

Another important tip for making a perfect pie crust is to avoid overworking the dough. The more you mix, knead, and roll, the more the dough will lose its elasticity and be harder to roll out. Instead gently roll and fold the dough until it’s just combined, then gently roll it out into your desired shape.
