Note

For savory dishes like beef pot pies or chicken pot pies, omit the 2 tablespoons of sugar from the recipe.

This crust is best baked immediately with your filling. If preparing ahead, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Ensure the milk is cold to help keep the crust tender, though this method is more forgiving than traditional butter-based crusts.
