Ok. Maybe I have to give up on an impeccably crimped edge in order to indulge in an all butter, totally flakey crust. It’s definitely worth it! I took a sharp little knife and sliced away a piece where no one would notice. Absolute flakiness achieved! So the edge isn’t so beautiful. I can live with it.
Lovely supple dough
The fluted edge was gorgeous before it hit the hot oven!
Ok, so the edge is still a little blobbish - do you think the all butter crust is at fault?!
