There are lots of things people try to get a super-flaky pie crust — using vodka instead of water , for example. Another idea? Just reach for a cheese grater, as this video explains — you’ll get an even better, flakier crust.
If you don’t own a rolling pin, that’s not a problem if you want to make a pie crust, but getting it shaped and into the pie dish might be tricky. Jonathan Waxman shows us how you can take a frozen (or mostly frozen) pie crust, push it through a cheese grater, and get shredded dough you can then massage with your hands easily. The end result is a malleable crust that bakes up flakier than if you’d just rolled it and laid it into the dish.
Of course, you could always skip both methods and grab a prebaked pie crust from the supermarket, but that’s just nonsense, right? Hit the link below for more, and to see the crust used for Panna’s tarte aux pommes recipe.
