For the flakiest crust, ensure all ingredients are thoroughly chilled before starting. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will develop the gluten and result in a tough crust. If you are making a sweet pie, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg mixture. For a golden-brown crust, brush with an egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking.
