Tips:

  • For the perfect flaky crust, use a combination of butter, shortening, and ice water. Be sure to work the dough quickly to avoid overworking it.
  • Don't over-mix the filling. Over-mixing will make the filling tough.
  • For a creamier filling, use a mixture of milk and cream.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the top of the pie with a broiler. Just be sure to watch it closely to avoid burning.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
