    It’s no secret a great pie starts with a good, flaky crust. This sounds like the recipe I learned back in the day in home economics.

      Yes, it’s a pretty basic recipe but definitely a must in the repertoire. So cool that you learned it in home ec! 🙂

    This was really helpful! I’ve never made my own pie crust before but I think I’ll give it a try 🙂

    Great recipe! I had no idea about your trick to chill the pie crust before putting it in the oven! Can’t wait to make this for date night!

      Yes, that was a new concept for me as well. Keeping the butter cold is super important to create flakiness and putting it back in the fridge helps so much. Then straight into a hot oven and all that butter melts and creates steam which creates the flakey layers. Yum!

    I love a good butter pie crust. This one sounds lovely. I am still working on my pie dough rolling skills. That is a true skill.

      Yep, there’s nothing quite like an all-butter pie crust. And yes, rolling the dough definitely takes some practice. Keep working at it…you’ll get it!

    Thanks for the super informative post on how to make an easy pie crust! I’ve been baking a bit for years and never thought to grate my butter! I reckon that will save me loads of time!

      Right?! It’s a pretty great kitchen hack. I was really glad when I learned about grating butter too…so much faster!
