Use a combination of all-purpose and pastry flour for a tender yet firm crust. Pastry flour adds a softer texture, perfect for flaky layers.
Keep your butter chilled while preparing the dough. Cold butter creates pockets of steam, resulting in a flakier crust once baked.
Mix in almond butter, honey, and dates. Blend until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed.
A pinch of sea salt balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor, making every bite more satisfying.
Boosting the amount of vanilla extract elevates the pie’s aroma and adds a subtle warmth to the filling.
