As a young budding cook, one of the earliest staple recipes I mastered was perfecting my flakey pie crust. With just a few ingredients, mainly butter and flour, the key to a perfect batch is all about proper kitchen techniques, such as keeping your butter and water very cold, and not overworking the dough.
