Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Butter gives the crust flavor, while shortening helps to keep it tender and flaky.
  • Make sure the butter and shortening are cold before you start working with them. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming tough.
  • Work the dough quickly and gently. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Don't press down too hard, or the dough will be tough.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked through.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.

Conclusion:

Cranberry pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its tart and tangy filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips for a perfect cranberry pie every time.
