I was so glad to read your tips on making pie crusts. My Mom is the pie baker and I am the cake baker/decorator. My daughter recently graduated from Le Cordon Bleu and is wanting to go into pastries. We will definitely try your recipe and let you know how it turns out. Thanks again.

Maria love the crust tips. I am more of a pie baker than a cake baker. My family always expects me to make the pies. I really enjoy them also. Looking for some new ideas. Thanks

I have forwarded this to my husband who spoils me with his cooking since he has become mostly unemployed and I have to work full time. We made our first real whipped cream tonight for pumpkin pie.

Pie is my absolute favorite dessert and I do not make it as often as I like because I’m afraid of the crust! After reading your tips, I am going try it again and I’ll let you know how it turns out. Thanks!

How cool is that! I’ve always had my pie crust ingredients at room temp then refrigerated or froze disks. So much easier to put together. It’s been suggested that this is “not the way”. I also add a tat of sugar as well as lemon juice w/egg in my water. Never tried milk rather than water, but I surely will, next pie. Adding other flavors in the flour, great idea. My crusts are always favorable and flaky, and now expect will be even better. Validated! Thanks!
