Holiday baking gets oh so easy now! Your favorite tarts, sweet pastries and yes! That pumpkin pie!
It’s actually quite simple to prepare, and I will tell you why. The trick of this dough is to avoid handling it as much as possible. So there is absolutely no kneading, no worrying about over mixing… just make it all come together, pat it into shape and voila! You will actually aim to have a patchy, crumbly, uneven in color and cracking dough. This will mean that the butter bits in the dough are holding their own. They will melt and create layers in the baked crust, giving it a light flaky bite!
