To prevent this tearing, either work with a warmer crust OR use a bit more liquid in the dough! The flour, salt, fat, water mixture should clump together when you squeeze a handful to determine if it really does have enough water before gathering the whole mixture together and shaping into the discs to chill. This may be a good opportunity to call our baker's hotline at 855-371-2253. Go bravely into that pie crust world - and Happy Baking! Irene@KAF
