Vent: I see so many people mess up their pie crust by overworking the dough

It makes the crust tough, not flaky. The key is to stop mixing as soon as the dough just holds together, even if it looks a bit shaggy. Anyone have a good visual cue for when to stop?

What if a tough crust is actually better sometimes?

Seriously, is bread crust that deep of a topic?

My grandma always said to mix until it looks like cottage cheese. I used to ignore her and make hockey pucks. She was totally right.
