I was ecstatic! Finally, a flaky crust! I couldn't stop making pies for weeks. Vegetable pies for meals, fruit pies for desserts. Scones? wrap 'em in a flaky pie crust! (Just joking about that last one.)<br /><br />The secret was using frozen butter and then cutting it into very small cubes (about the size of a pea) while it was still frozen. The pieces were small enough that I could rub them into the flour very quickly.Lunerayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346187790386024127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877896513227043132.post-539782569657134782012-04-07T22:58:01.977+01:002012-04-07T22:58:01.977+01:00I use Flexitol.

I put it on very thick and then wear socks, even to bed, if it is winter. <br /><br />SInce it normally happens inthe summer, I replace the sock with the biggest bandage I have, or I use a gauze pad and tape to keep it on.<br /><br />Within several days, it is softer, I can trim the excess skin and the heel starts healing.<br /><br />But I know the feeling . . heel hurts so you walk weird, then that sets the ankles, knees and back going out of whack . . it os quite a nasty painful circle.paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15846739006616734636noreply@blogger.com
