This is the crust my mother used to make. I've tried and tried, and now I'm going to try it again. Thank you.

Wonderful! 🩵

@@DougCooking I made a hundred pies in my sleep last night (in my non sleep). Bought the King Arthur flour today! Going to make a tomato pie this weekend. Wish me luck.

[@beverlyaldridge2635]

Is the Crisco chilled or at room temperature?

[@DougCooking]

room temp!

[@beverlyaldridge2635]

@@DougCooking I actually have made the crust both ways now and it seemed to work better when I chilled the Crisco. I have to do whatever works best for me. Thank you and your lovely mother for putting me on the right track. My mom would be so proud!

This is exactly the way I learned pie crust in Home Ec class back in 1970. Best crust, hands down. Thank you for reminding me!

[@DougCooking]

This recipe is very popular throughout my family. Happy to remind you, and thanks for watching. 😊

What a sweet cute woman. Thank you both for helping me with my pie crust. I was looking up all these other ones with butter saying I had to chill and I didn't want to wait lol. Have a happy Easter. Going to be watching more of your baking videos.

[@DougCooking]

How wonderful! All the best in your pie baking, and happy Easter to you as well.😊

This is the first time I see a pie crust not refrigerated and no eggs looks great ,I will try it !

[@DougCooking]

It’s great for making many pies… my mom will often make 4 or more pies it’s a time. Hope you have success! 😊

Looks easier than the one I did & mines in the garbage

Dear Doug and Mom I can't tell you how much difficulty I've had trying to make pie crust. Today, following Mom's recipe I just made my best crust ever. I made 2 pumpkin pies. They are cooling right now. I haven't even tasted them yet, but I can tell they will be perfect. I loved watching you both interact. It was so special. Mom thank you, thank you, thank you. I will be forever grateful. You certainly are the Pie Queen.

[@DougCooking]

So happy that you enjoyed the video and got great results! Thank you for the kind words, and congratulations on those pumpkin pies! ❤️

[@terryKessler42719]

I use my fingers. I like the feel of the dough.

[@patlovato4073]

Thank u for sharing. I use to make good crust but for some reason I can’t make a crust anymore. I’m going to try this one and see. Wish me luck.

[@DougCooking]

Hope it works out for you! 👍

[@karenvanausdall5904]

This is a great recipe,I use it, never fails!!

[@ARnana2four]

I just stumbled on this video trying to find pie crust recipe. You are so sweet to watch. I loved this. You explained so well. I just bought flour to make pie crust and they didn’t have King Arthur so I just bought Great Value. Never heard of the flour you used. Hope it works. I’m making a recipe where you use 5 lbs flour and 3lb can of butter crisco. Makes 20 pie crust and you freeze the balls of dough to use later. Have you used butter flavored crisco before? If so, which do you prefer, butter flavored or reg? Thanks again.

[@DougCooking]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@ianscianablo8507]

Hi! It's amazing that you just roll it without constantly moving the dough! I'm having a horrible time with butter pie crust! Always cracking. Never bakes right.

[@DougCooking]

This recipe ALWAYS works for my mom. She uses the same ingredients ( King Arthur or Robin Hood AP Flour) consistently as well. She made 8 pies yesterday for a picnic, all perfect crusts.

[@marshyburrows1094]

beautiful

[@DougCooking]

Thank you! 😊

[@BarbaraHarbauer-cn6eg]

Love your pie crust videos. Do you ever cover the outer pie crust edges with foil or the metal covers, so the edges don't get too brown, especially when baking fruit pies?

[@DougCooking]

I don’t think my mom does that too often, but if she does, just a bit of foil on the edges. 👍

[@MitziVanorsdale]

At what temperature and for how long to bake the pie crust for it to be completely cooked? I have never had luck making pie crust and going to give this a try. Thanks

[@DougCooking]

For an unfilled blind bake: After crimping the edge, use the tines of a fork and dock holes on the bottom and inner walls of the pie crust. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. This would be the method for something like a custard/pudding g filled pie. For a filled pie such as fruit pies, cooking time and temperature varies.

[@halsmith2174]

So no chilling? Wow!!

[@DougCooking]

No we don’t chill. 😁

[@carolinetiller4813]

I don't know if this has been asked before. I love your mom and I have used this recipe... However, I used with BUTTER flavored Crisco. I wonder if it matters as far as the measurements of Crisco with or with out butter? Have others done this with butter flavored and any feedback would be welcomed. Thank you!!

[@DougCooking]

Thank you so much! Although we haven’t done it, I think swapping Crisco for butter flavored Crisco would be an equal measurement, and everything else would stay the same. 😊👍 Not true if you wanted to use real butter.🛑 I would look for a different recipe in that case. Happy baking!

[@cindysimonetti807]

Hi i noticed when you measure your flour you just dip the cup in the bag. Could i just spoon the flour in the cup? Would that be the same thing or does your way pack it more

[@DougCooking]

I would certainly try it the way you are most comfortable. It’s true that your method of spooning in may aerate and lighten the flower just a bit more. If you use a kitchen scale to weigh out ingredients, King Arthur Flour indicates 120g as one cup of flour. Sifting or spooning may lighten it by about 10g.

[@ksmill09]

Do you make fried or hand pies and would you use the same pie dough?

[@DougCooking]

We do not, but I would give this dough a try, as it handles well at room temp. Good if you were making several hand pies. 👍

[@lorrainestone]

Doug does your mom. Use the butter crisco for her pies?

[@DougCooking]

She uses the traditional Crisco, but I’m sure you could use the butter flavored.

[@jangriffitt6765]

How long would you say that she mixed it after the water goes in? I am trying to replicate her exactly!!! Mom, the Pie Diva!!! I did make 2 pies using this recipe and talk about delicate, delish, flaky and easy!

[@DougCooking]

She doesn’t mix for long, probably two minutes max. She uses a fork, and as it starts to stick together in a crumbly mass, then she moves to using her hand, into two doughballs. So glad you’ve had success, and enjoyed it! 😁

[@billyeast6819]

hOW LONG DO YOU BAKE IT AFTER YOU PUT IN THE FILLING?

[@DougCooking]

For the buttermilk pie: Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake an additional 45 minutes. The surface and crust edge will be golden brown, and the center will be bubbling. Allow pie to cool completely before serving.

[@DougCooking]

For pumpkin pies: Bake pie at 425°F for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 325°F, and bake 60 minutes more, or until a tester comes out clean. Let pie cool completely before slicing.

[@Marla.22]

My mom always told me that the crisco needed be really cold, and cold water. So I chill the crisco and it comes out better

[@DougCooking]

Thanks for sharing about the Crisco. My mom has never chilled it.

[@garypostell5268]

Do you keep your Crisco in the fridge?

[@DougCooking]

Mom does not. Crisco says ‘once opened, you can store in a cool dry place for up to three months’. 👍

[@75saralee75]

The dough was easy to do. Once in the oven (a did a meat pie) the grease(from dough) was dripping on the bottom of the oven😮 What did I do wrong

[@DougCooking]

Thanks for sharing. I haven't experienced that issue. Was the meat filling already hot, as you filled the pie? That could be a problem, melting the shortening too fast in the crust before the baking sets it up. If the filling is going into the crust already hot, blind bake the crust first. The only other thing I am wondering is how full was the filling?

[@lorrainestone]

Is your shortening cold?

[@DougCooking]

No, my mother leaves it in a cupboard at room temperature. 😊

[@vickybrown7028]

Can bread flour be used for pie crust?

[@DougCooking]

Bread flour has a higher protein content compared to AP flour, so it’s likely to lead to a bit of a tougher crust. If you try using it, your crust may not be as light and flaky. Hope this helps.

[@crrazy1]

need to partner with her more often!

[@DougCooking]

Will do, thanks Dom! 😊

[@AmericaArrieta-r7w]

Can I used butter?

[@DougCooking]

Good question. I would look for an ‘all butter crust’ recipe instead of adapting our recipe.The water ratio might be different, and you will definitely need to chill butter crust before baking.

[@lisamoore6804]

The next time I make a pie, I'm going to try this pie crust recipe. The butter ones never turn out for me. They fight me every time.

[@DougCooking]

I hope you love it as much as we do. Thanks for watching! 😊

Yes, it’s completely workable and tender.
