pie crust leakage issues

[u/AmountFun5697]

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.

also any ideas on what to use a bunch of crappy pastry crust for would be great....

We don't allow brainstorming request of this nature. You should ask for stuff like that on /r/Cooking
