Although everyone loves a buttery crust, butter alone just doesn't give you the shardy, crunchy flakiness you crave. Bruce and Mark explain the science behind their butter heresy and tell you the best way to get both good flavor and a crisp texture.

Culinary Myth #10: Butter makes flakier crusts? Not really.

Join us, Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, for weekly episodes all about food, cooking, recipes, and maybe a little marital strife on air. After writing thirty-six cookbooks, we've got countless opinions and ideas on ingredients, recipes, the nature of the cookbook-writing business, and much more. If you've got a passion for food, we also hope to up your game once and a while and to make you laugh most of the time. Come along for the ride! There's plenty of room!
