I love trying new things in the kitchen. My latest challenge was an attempt at my mother-in-laws famous flaky pie crust. It’s not that hard a recipe or anything, it’s actually pretty simple to make. However, precision is crucial, and if you’re not familiar with each stage of the recipe, you might neglect an important step. This can result in adding too much or too little water, kneading (don’t!), or other “crust-destroying” mistakes.

The secret to flaky pie crust is a simple (but effective!) pastry roller and mat. I always shop for quality though; there’s no need to strain my back rolling the dough, but since silicone pastry roller doesn’t’ stick, makes rolling dough and cleanup seem effortless!
