  • Smitten Kitchen’s all butter, really flaky pie dough

    This pie dough worked pretty well for me, an amateur baker. I could have probably broken up the butter a little bit to keep it visible but not have biiiig pieces (I do not have a handheld pastry blender). Anyway would highly recommend Phantom Island
