How to make the perfect pie crust

[@Dequa21]

I am a 29 year old single man that is really seeking new hobbies. So thank you so much for showing me this step by step process. Thank you!!

One of the best instructional videos on pie dough that I've seen.

[@helenem4586]

An intelligent instructional video having perfect clarity of purpose, and without all the irritating gimmicks one sees in other how-to food videos. So enjoyable.

[@jimmorrison4ever529]

They're really all the same, just mild measurement differences with bakers trying to be different than others. Sift flower, salt, sugar, add cold butter broken up, sometimes shortening/lard, ice water, and there you go.

There are a lot of great bakers out there like you,but you are by far the best teacher I have ever come across ! I am a very experienced baker but I still have learned tips and techniques from you. Your videos are a joy to watch ! You certainly relay your passion for baking. I am recovering a ankle surgery but after seeing one of your pie videos, I had to hobble in my kitchen to make a lemon meringue pie. Please don't ever stop sharing your skills with all of us.

[@artsandattitudes4231]

[@VivianRP]

The little details you give here, has been such a big help in understanding how the perfect crust is made, taste is perfect! Thank you 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@thewebmaniacs]

Fantastic! The most impressive pie crust making ever. I’ve made two pies this week using this recipe and they were delicious and very manageable. Thank you for being so generous with your recipe and instructions.

[@thohhuichinkpm-guru9747]

I have followed so many videos on baking and cooking, yours is by far the best. Many chefs don't realise a lot of us are trying not only a dish but actual cooking or baking for the first time and skip many steps. You showing us how the dough should look and how it changes was a great help! I also love the encouraging words you give at the end. Superb!

[@rebeccacurran8365]

Ma'am, I would never believe you could kneed a pie crust and my crusts were always crumbly patch- works. Your way really worked and for once, I had a pie crust that I could work with and it was light and flaky too when it was cooked! Thank you!

[@maryalove5534]

(: "knead" ... ☺

[@johngray2875]

thanks for your comment. That's my problem too. Glad to hear this solved your cumbly patch-works.

[@jackloganbill605]

I have made many many pie crusts, even have a youtube video of my own. But for some reason, after all my success in pie crusts, I still have failures and imperfect pie crusts. Until now. This recipe and method works every time. My first pie crust using this method turned out exactly like that of the video. Exactly. Thank you very much for sharing. I wrote down the recipe for my use: Best Ever Pie Crust (Chicago Tribune/ JL) Ingredients ● 2-1/4 cup flour ● 1 tsp kosher salt (original: 2 tsp) ● 1 Tablespoon sugar (original: 1/2 Tablespoon) ● 9 Tablespoons butter (1-1/8 stick), cubed refrigerator ● 5 Tablespoons butter, cubed, frozen ● 1/2 cup ice cold water + 1 tablespoon vinegar (will not use all of the water) Directions 1. Cube 5 Tablespoons of butter and place in the freezer. 2. Prepare a pie pan with shortening and a light coat of flour. 3. Add flour, salt, and sugar to the food processor and pulse. 4. Cube the fridge butter and add it to the food processor. Short pulse until like sand. 5. Add cubed frozen butter and short pulse until like sand. 6. Add 5 tablespoons of water mixture and short pulse. The dough SHOULD NOT come together in the food processor. Take a handful of dough and press it in your hand. If it comes together, you're done. Otherwise add 1/2 tablespoon of water mixture and test again. 7. Dump dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough comes together with a smooth exterior. 8. Divide into two pieces, flatten and shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1/2 hour or overnight. (I use approximately 390-400 g for a single pie crust). 9. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and using your hands, flatten into a larger disk. 10. Roll out, frequently rotating dough 90 degrees. Roll out to approximately 14 inches. 11. Use a 14" form to cut excess dough, then place dough in your prepared pie pan. 12. Crimp, and allow to rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes then in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.

[@polymathecian]

The freezer part is very important. Also prevents the dough from shrinking. Very nice tips!

[@charlenehatter5058]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this beautiful piecrust and show me what I’ve been doing wrong for oh so many years. Happy baking my dear.

[@mchapman132]

@@donnawhite1876 - lard doesn’t burn or add colour either like butter does. I fry eggs in lard too. They turn out perfectly. We don’t eat fried food often, so it’s not too harmful or fattening.

[@alicegionzago2916]

Mr Chapman please can you share your mother's recipe with me.

[@mchapman132]

@@alicegionzago2916 - here it is, good luck. This is for one crust, double it for two. * 1.5 cups all purpose flour (don’t use old flour) don’t sift it, put it in a bag and shake it to unsettle it. * pinch of salt * 1/2 cup lard (the best you can find) * 3-4 Tablespoons cold water * Stir together flour and salt. * Cut in lard until you have a nice crumbly mixture. * Add just enough water to make it come together into a dough. * Pat into a flat disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill at least a half hour. * Roll into a thin circle and fit into your pie pan. Crimp edge. Cold water and cold lard is best, the dough won’t melt and be easier to work with. Don’t work it too much, you’ll work all the air out of the dough and it won’t be flaky. (My biggest mistake when I first learned.) My mom and aunt were fascinating to watch make pies, when they worked the dough, they were very gentle with just their fingers not they whole hand as I was doing. My pies crust was hard, theirs were flaky. It took me years to learn how to handle dough correctly. Don’t roll it too much either, roll it out, get a circle and stop……don’t use too much strength when you roll, nice and easy. I apologize if you are an experienced pie maker, some people have asked for the recipe who have never baked anything before. It’s a great crust, you’ll be pleased I’m sure. Thanks for asking. Enjoy.

[@josephina4792]

Glad I came across this. It's been so long since I made pie dough - this was a wonderful refresher!

[@stingrio]

Thank you dearly for sharing your post,; in suffering a brain injury, and relearning to cook, this was by far seriously helpful in breaking down details. While I don't have a mixer or food processor yet and did the mix by hand, I kept looking for the texture that you highlighted and continued until achieved, This was absolutely wonderful for a chicken pot pie that took me three days to complete since I have partial paralysis, however in mixing sugar, added garlic italian seasoning, apple cider, and the exact amount of water you indicated, this is the only one that gave beautiful results.

I have never baked a pie but have always wanted to. My mother was a great cook ( she learned from her deaf grandmother when she was a girl) and could whip out a pie in no time or so it seemed. I have been looking at you tube channels for pie crusts and pies. I loved your presentation and I am ordering your book. I really connected with your advice that it takes practice. I am a great believer in experience, and that means doing something over and over until you are good at it. I am also a Hoosier.

Practice makes perfect. I taught my self before there was internet. Meaning years ago I was not able to learn from internet cause it was not available. The cook books I had then never stressed cold butter. Instead crisco. Kept at it till I finely got the hang of it. Would have been nice to have been able to look at you tube and watch videos on making pie crusts. So practice and good luck.

I love your presentation on how to make the pie crust can you show how to make the perfect apple filling

[@jampubs1]

Findley Smith I understand that many bakers like to pre-cook and fuss with their pie filling. Here is how I’ve been doing it for 50+ years, and my mother and grandmother before me: Peel, core, and slice apples into roughly 1/2-1” pieces or cubes. Don’t obsess over this. Place into pie shell. Add oh, maybe, 1/2 c granulated sugar, sprinkling over the fruit. Sprinkle with approx 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon . Wet the rim of the pie shell with a bit of water on your fingers. Place the second piece of pastry onto the fruit and press down gently to seal the edges. Trim pastry and crimp edges with the tones of a fork. Cut 3 slits in top approx 1” long. Brush top with cream or beaten egg and sprinkle all over with sugar. Bake at 425°F for 15 min.; reduce heat to 375°F and bake until a knife inserted through a little slit into the apples meets no resistance. If the top browns too quickly and before the apples are cooked, cover loosely with foil. If you use a glass pie plate you can peek at the bottom crust to see that it is browned. Different apples require different amounts of sugar and we like ours just barely on the tart side. It is hard to give you specific amounts. Best of luck with your pies. Let us know how you get on.
