Hi Michelle, we had a few different bakers bake the beautiful hand pies that were photographed for this post. It's picture proof that different bakers produce different results, even when using the same recipe and ingredients. If you want your hand pies to be extra flaky, be sure all of your ingredients are very cold, and keep the dough cold as you work. Leave some of the chunks of butter visible and flatten them into leafs or flakes when incorporating them into the flour. Lastly, be sure your oven is fully pre-heated to ensure the best separation of layers and final texture. Good luck! Kye@KAF
