Honestly, I always used cold butter for my pie crusts until last week.

Tbh, I saw a video from a baker in Seattle who swore by frozen, grated butter. I tried it side by side with my usual cold cubes for a double batch of apple pie. The frozen butter crust was way flakier and held its shape better in the oven. Ngl, the difference was huge. Has anyone else tried this method with other pastries?

Game changer? My scones are still hockey pucks. What's the secret?
