Anteckning
If the pie dough is made with cold butter and water it becomes a little more firm. And easier to knead and work with. You can use softened butter and lukewarm water, but then you have to let the dough rest for 20 minutes in the fridge.
When mixing heavy cream and eggs don' whip it. You need a smooth liquid not whipped cream.
