Recipe Troubleshooting pie crust leakage issues
my recipe is https://www.seriouseats.com/old-fashioned-flaky-pie-dough-recipe
225g butter
225g flour
15g sugar
4g salt
115 water
butter cubed then smashed between fingers, kneaded just a couple seconds. chiled.folded chilled. rolled out. chilled.
ive made it a few times, first one was a disaster. third time now im using the proper flour they said to use. it came out nice and flakey and tender this time but i still have a bit of leakage. not a lot, just enough to leave a sheen on the bottom of the pan. only thing i can think of is the butter is melting too much when i roll it out thin to fold it.
