Tips:
- Use cold ingredients: This will help prevent the gluten from forming, which will make your pie crust tough.
- Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will make it easier to work with and prevent it from shrinking.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface: This will help prevent it from sticking.
- Don't over-roll the dough: The thinner the dough, the more likely it is to crack.
- Trim the edges of the dough: This will help to ensure that the pie crust is even.
- Crimp the edges of the dough: This will help to seal the pie crust and prevent it from leaking.
- Bake the pie crust at a high temperature: This will help to create a golden brown crust.
- Let the pie crust cool before filling it: This will help to prevent the filling from making the crust soggy.
