Editors Review

Most people get really intimidated when it comes to making flaky pie pastry and prefer buying the frozen ready-made version from the supermarket. The thing that really makes pies special though is the perfect, buttery, flaky, melt-in-your-mouth, homemade pie crust. Making your own pastry is not that difficult, all it needs is a bit of practice and patience. Watch Angie prepare a simple basic flaky pie pastry which is great for all kinds of pies and tarts.
