To make the dough, whisk the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Heat the butter and milk in either a 2-cup glass measuring cup, if you have one, or a glass bowl in the microwave on high, in three 30-second bursts, stirring in between each, or in a small saucepan on the stovetop over medium-high heat, until the butter is melted and the milk is steaming hot—the mixture doesn’t need to boil.

Pour the hot liquid over the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until the mixture holds together when squeezed. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead a few times until smooth. Use immediately.

The dough can easily be pressed into a pie plate or a muffin tin, if making a regular pie or mini pies. If making a galette, roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper. And if making hand pies, roll the dough out directly on your work surface – and you likely won’t need to flour it first.

Bake all of your magic melted butter treats at 400 degrees, but the time that it takes to bake your pie, galette, hand pies, etc. will depend on your filling. Pie can take an hour, a galette more like 45 minutes and mini pies and hand pies around 30 minutes. Basically you want the crust to be golden brown . . . And NOTE WELL: the crust cannot be par-baked.
