Hi Bold Bakers! Hope you enjoyed this Basics. You will need it for my Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie this coming Thursday. The time changed yesterday in the U.S so some one you might have been waiting an hour for this video. See you Thursday, Gemma xx

Gemma Stafford Words can't describe how much I love your channel.

Back in the day, my mom made the BEST Apple Pie, the same her mother made during the first depression. The crust was tender, light and flaky and the apples weren't crunchy like store bought. She used Crisco. I may have to try yours to compare.

[@Sweetthang9]

I LOVE that you used your hands....People don't realize how many things you can bake with just the power of your hands. I appreciate a good stand mixer, but when I'm showing people how to bake, I always start with recipes that use no machine at all. They are easily the best recipes I have.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes! for some reason we forget that there were recipes, before there was electricity! Elbow grease, that is what it was called! :)

[@nozmoscada8861]

Yeah specially when you see tbe best world chefs making everything by hands.

[@itmaslanka]

I’m 70, I start with a paddle and then do a fraiser swear the dough. Same !

[@pangguerrero8026]

Thank you so much Gemma! I tried this recipe for my pies for Thanksgiving and they were the prefect compliment! I made Pecan, Pumpkin and Dutch Apple! Buttery and flaky, I can see why the confectioner sugar is a must! Have a great Holiday!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

That is great, I am happy to hear that :)

[@msxmjin8540]

Just made my very first pie crust. Big success! Thanks a lot Gemma! 💗💕

[@iluvgaara555]

Love being able to freeze pie crust. I pre-make pie crusts for Christmas few weeks in a head; makes it so much easier for the holidays.

[@chelleberri2578]

I baked an apple pie for the first time in my life yesterday for a christmas dinner potluck. I used this recipe to make my double crust pie and it was amazing! The crust didn't crack and tasted so good. Thanks for the wonderful recipe gemma!

[@Mrsgates2010]

Gemma, you are so amazing! I just love all of you videos. You are so sweet, so genuine, and you save so much money by doing these "at home"! I also love now knowing these incredible tips and tricks for so many things I never would have imagined I could make at home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every video I have had the honor to watch since you started ❤

Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe! Super clear instructions and great tips :) I used the pie shell to make a cannoli pie and with the dough from the trimmed edges I made a small nutella pie (just put a big dollop Nutella in between two layers). They turned out great!

I have always wanted to learn this. I bake quite often but have never made a pie crust from the scratch before. Thank you so much for this. You are the best.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm delighted you liked it :)

[@biggerbolderbaking]

That is great. Work fast and cold, that is the secret. Resting it is important, do not over handle! that is it really :)

[@liebtpokemon]

I love your basics! They help me sooo much, especially because I'm a vegan and now I can just make my own vegan buttermilk and cream cheese from scratch. This is so handy and I really want to thank you for those basics!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

That is great, I am happy when you are happy! :)

[@hayalgoricosiempre]

Great! A recipe for the perfect pie crust. Loved it.c. Thanks!

[@kelfaesther95]

thank you so much gemma

[@justdreadest]

wonderful and no machine needed. Thank you

[@rhyfelwrDuw]

this looks good. when I've made pastry, I've wetted my hands in cold water (after washing them first) and I find that keeps the pastry cool too! icing sugar is a great idea for a sweet pastry!

[@marlenemeyer]

Nummy pies!! Thank you for the perfect crust for my spinach and feta pie!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes! that is a perfect idea! :)

[@annedial8261]

just found you on youtube. Oh my goodness..Love you and how you really explain every recipe. Do you have a baking book available in Canada.

[@ilzitabonita]

[@luchyponce]

omg perfect timing!! I need this for the pie I'm making soon

[@Reemz777]

It looks sooo good~ Must try it over the weekend! What filling could I use if I want to make a savory pie?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Ah! Quiche is the obvious one, roast veg is fabulous, use goats cheese with roast veg, tomatos etc, potato and leek with ham, limited only by your imagination! :)

[@jannathfazil672]

looks so nice iam going to try it

[@debbie-annmohammed708]

Hi Gemma love your station . I have tried so many of your recipes and they are awesome

[@Mrsnamor]

I bake eight pies for Thanksgiving every year; four pumpkin and four apple for family and neighbors. I usually just use a store bought crust. I'm going with your recipe this year. You're a real Gem, Gemma.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

[@nabeehasaeed7287]

hi gemma can you tell me that when making the pop tarts [ sweet kind] should I use this recipe or the other one you showed in that video

[@SusanMillard]

Thanks, Gemma...I have always had problems with heavy pastry but your method is so easy and clear I have a feeling my pie crusts are going to be great from here on out. =)

[@WithAlexofficial]

Can't wait to try this! :)

[@zaruchiha9927]

Hi Gemma I watch your channel a lot and I really like the things which you make they look so good and I really like them waiting for your next video keep it up 💖

i love when you make basic recipes

[@biggerbolderbaking]

me too :)

[@kirstenpaff8946]

Hi Gemma, I have tried making your crust before, but have always had problems with it ripping when I roll it out, which results in scraggly edges and an uneven shape. Any tips for preventing the dough from ripping or how to fix tears in the dough while rolling it out? Thanks.

[@malakawickramasinghe]

Thanks a million Gemma

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm delighted you liked it :)

[@sunflower-rp2uk]

I always have a hard time making pie crusts.. but I am more than sure that with your recipe I will make an amazing pie ! (:

[@peridot1878]

can we use this for tarts as well? and is it must to pre bake the shell for tarts?

[@michelllelaw6]

Hi Gemma! Thank you for Sharing this video. I have a question in regards to the flour, can i use Super Fine flour instead of All Purpose flour ?

[@daniyalkhizar]

i know its super late but she has a commenting system on her website where you can ask questions

[@arpunbains4098]

can we use shredded frozen butter, like the one used for the puff pastry, instead of the cold cubed butter

[@rickj8712]

Looks wonderful Gemma. I will try this one. My Wife makes her own pumpkin pie but not crust. my 1 question is should I Pre-bake the crust or not ? I have heard to pre bake if it is a 1 crust pie but we have no directions for her homemade pie.

[@diandradsa363]

Thanks it was really great

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm delighted you liked it Diandra :)

[@mariacristinad.malagayo9182]

Hi Gemma..what is the diffirence between this recipe and the one you made with grated butter?are they the same in terms of cooking usage?thanks xoxo

[@robertpreston2440]

Thank you for your reply I love your Irish scone recipe but no matter what I do my scones done rise I’m doing something wrong but what

[@haramansari0904]

You mentioned that we can freeze it for later use. is there any tip for thawing the dough before rolling out? I'm worried that it may turn out too hard or dry.

[@amysol3960]

Hi can I use this recipe to make mini apple pies? Like personal ones thank you I'm new to making pies so any information helps lol :)

[@jennifergo7201]

Hi Gemma. Is there any difference with the taste or texture of the crust if i pre made it 3 days ahead,? Thanks.. i really love all your videos they are very helpful especially to beginners like me..❤️

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi Jennifer. You can freeze this for up to 8 weeks. Roll out your pie crust and place it in the tin. When ready to use take out of the freezer and bake directly from frozen. If you are using it for a pie that normally needs to be baked blind just bake it as is, with no beads or beans. Just bake the crust from frozen, eliminating the task of blind baking ever again.

[@veraborsa-valadez9423]

Hi Gemma. If I use chichen for filling, what is the time and the temperature that I should use?

[@ddm817]

omg , this is soooo my favorite channel , tho I haven't tried any recipe yet , but I will soon , thanks you make baking look the easiest thing ever :)

[@biggerbolderbaking]

It is great to have you with us, thank you :)

[@ddm817]
