Happy National Pie Day!

We’re not saying any of us have ever needed an excuse to eat pie, but today we have a great one. January 23rd is National Pie Day, a day set aside to celebrate pie.

We get excited about baking and eating pie because the possibilities are endless. Most people enjoy the traditional fruit-based pies such as apple, cherry, or key lime, but pies can also be a savory main course like shepherd’s pie, chicken pot pie, or the traditional cornish pasty.

Whatever the type, the key to any pie is its crust. Here are a couple of our proven pie crust recipes that use Challenge European Style Butter to produce a more buttery and flaky result.
