Tips & Tricks (5)
- Ice Cold Butter Magic 🧊Cut butter into small cubes and freeze for 15 minutes before mixing to ensure maximum flakiness and prevent gluten development.
- Vinegar's Secret Weapon 🥧The apple cider vinegar helps prevent gluten formation, resulting in an incredibly tender and delicate pie crust that melts in your mouth.
- Minimal Handling Technique 👐Work the dough as little as possible - overmixing develops gluten and can make your crust tough instead of flaky and delicate.
- Chill for Success 🌡️Always rest and chill your pie dough for at least 1 hour before rolling out, allowing the butter to re-solidify and create those perfect flaky layers.
- Hydration is Key 💧Add ice water gradually, just until the dough comes together - too much liquid can make your crust dense and heavy.
