Kristin Hoffman (author of Baker Bettie’s Better Baking Book) demonstrates how to make a pie crust that is flaky, buttery, and won’t shrink on you.
There are a few things that people tell me frequently they are intimidated by in baking. Pie crust is among the most common answers!
I get it. It can feel fussy and messy.
It can also be frustrating when it shrinks as it bakes, or comes out tough and chewy instead of flaky.
So I wanted to create a video tutorial to help make the process approachable!

- How to make a dough that will produce a super flaky crust
