Patti LaBelle Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

Tech tip: If you want a soft, flaky pie crust, you should use shortening. Some chefs make their dough buttered because they like the flavor, but it’s baked into a crumbly crust — and for most pie lovers, crust is the name of the game.

The cooled shortening and ice water will also help the pie crust stay nice and flaky.
