March is Flour Month. Embrace this transformative ingredient with a variety of the city’s best, most flavorful dishes.

1. Crack Pie

A slice of Crack Pie ($5.25) from the East Village’s Momofuku Milk Bar contains a deadly combination of butter, heavy cream, brown sugar and corn flour. Disclaimer: contents may be addictive — they don’t call it crack for nothing.
