A nice, flaky pie crust is all about texture and technique. This all-butter pie crust is a no-frills, classic recipe that yields a perfect crust every time. I’ve been on quite the pie crust journey, so I can confidently vouch for it.

This crust just uses flour, butter, salt, water, and your hands! No food processor, no vodka, and no hacks, tricks, skips, etc. Because for a good, old-fashioned, flaky and buttery pie crust, you just don’t need it, you know?
