“Wow, this is the best flaky crust recipe I've ever made! It was still very flaky and crunchy upon heating up 3 days later. It was indeed hard to handle, so I did end up ending like a few extra drops to knead it together. I did semi-blind baked it just because” — a cook, 5.0★
“Just made this for the second time. Made it first a month ago for a picnic lunch and my friends loved it. Made it today for my grandkids and it was a big hit. Thank you for this lovely recipe and detailed instructions” — a cook, 5.0★
