Basic flaky pie pastry from Pie: 300 Tried-and-True Recipes for Delicious Homemade Pie by Ken Haedrich

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    My favorite crust so far from this book. It is noticeably flakier than the all-butter crust (which I also like!).

    This worked well for me, but the extra flaky pie pastry (using cake flour) from this book is still my favorite.
