#DONT fully incorporate the butter. you should be able to see butter chunks in the dough and that dough should be ICE FUCKING COLD

sure your ornate sculptural pie is cool. except it looks GROSS. look at that overworked dough. you don’t want flakey delicious crisp crust? you want a top that’s so inconsistently thick that there’s no way that pretty skull you spent 20 minutes sculpting while the butter in there melts isn’t stodgy and disgusting inside? look what you’re done, you’ve developed the gluten. disgraceful. get some sculpty clay or something.
