My aunt told me to always use cold butter for pie crust, and I finally tried it after a string of tough ones.

That cold butter trick is the only way I can get a flaky crust now.

So you were out here making hockey pucks for pie crusts before this? I'm picturing a whole lineup of sad, tough pies on your counter.

Ever notice how one small trick can change your whole approach to something basic? I used to get so stressed about pie crust being perfect, but that cold butter thing just makes it work without the fight. It feels like a lot of life's annoying tasks have that one simple fix nobody tells you about. You just have to stumble on it or have a friend point it out before everything clicks.
