TENDERNESS AND FLAKINESS

  • Gluten amount and distribution determines tenderness
  • Flakiness comes from gluten separated by layers of fat
  • Expands with steam

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

  • When tender, you can easily cut it
  • If flaky you can see thin layers of dough separated by space

"BROWNED" PIE

  • It should be light and evenly browned
  • This makes for the best taste

THE FILLING

Should be a pleasing flavor and neither firm nor to runny
