Recipe Review

this is my go to flaky pie crust recipe. it is very methodic and fairly easy to make. the recipe is well explained and you will obtain the same good results batch after batch. i love what each "unusual" ingredient does. using cream cheese as part of the butter to make it tastier! using cream instead of water to make things more tasty too. using a little baking powder to lift more flakiness. and of course, it is an all butter crust.

the dough freezes for a very long time. have some on hand for any pies or pastries. note that it doesn't contain sugar, so it is perfect for sweet or savory.

makes fantastic crust for pecan or pumpkin pie.
