For a richer flavor, use European-style butter with a higher fat content. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of ice water at a time until it comes together. To prevent the crust from puffing up during baking, prick the bottom with a fork before chilling. For a crispier crust, bake the pie crusts with pie weights or dried beans for the first 10 minutes, then remove the weights and continue baking until golden brown.
