Re: [CnD] easiest pie crust ever
Here are 2 more suggestions, 1. Cook the crust for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Always poke a couple of fork holes in it. Second brush the inside of the crust with a little olive oil before filling it. - Original Message - From: "Lora Leggett" To: ; Sent: Monday, October 29, 2012 11:55 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] easiest pie crust ever I always do something I saw in the A&P cookbook published in the late 1970s. I fill a glass with ice water and let it sit there and tet cold while I am preparing the ingredients for the pie crust. Then I use this water to add to the crust and keep working with the dough until it feels rights. Somehow, the really cold water makes the crust really come out good and crispy. So whether I am making a crust for a pot pie or for a dessert pie, I always use the ice water. Lora - Original Message - From: "Abby Vincent" To: Sent: Monday, October 29, 2012 7:25 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] easiest pie crust ever When I do a crust that I'm going to cook without filling, I pierce the bottom of the crust with a fork several times. This allows steam to escape and prevents the crust from bubbling up. It comes out nice and flaky. I do this mostly when I want to fill it with something that doesn't involve cooking. For example, Baked Alaska, pudding pie, fresh strawberry pie. Usually I use uncooked prepared pie shells. They come in aluminum disposable pie pans. For the top crust, I have to improvise. Maybe there's a prepared top crust somewhere you can buy frozen or in the deli section of your grocery store. It is well worth the time to make the crust from scratch. There's something earthy about rolling out a crust on a floured board with a rolling pin. Abby If you're pre-cooking the crust before adding a filling you're going to bake, it may not be necessary to pierce the crust.
