Flaky crust comes from cold fat in small pieces that melt and create steam in the oven.
Tips
- Keep butter and water very cold
- Leave some pea-sized pieces of butter in the flour
- Add water a little at a time, just until the dough holds together
- Chill the dough before rolling and again before baking
- Bake on a lower rack for a crisp bottom
