NO FAIL PIE CRUST: How To Make A Perfectly Flaky Pie Crust From Scratch

[@cindyfischer3382]

JYou were so convincing to JUST TRY IT, so I did! I made a little change - I measured 1 egg yolk plus enough milk to make 1/2 c, then added crushed ice and water to get to the 1 cup liquids and let it sit until I had finished with the dry ingredients and butter (ice melted but liquid still very cold). I am currently baking a sheet pan apple pie bars recipe - so I actually DOUBLED this recipe, and cut it into 6 pieces and froze those discs for 1 hour, then took it out 15 min to warm up before rolling 2 pieces for the bottom, and 2 pieces for the top crusts. I took the trimmings and dusted with beaten egg white (left over from the recipe), and sprinkled with sugar and baked those for 15 min. That is what I am sampling and it is FABULOUS! Thank you so much for this recipe. I have never 1) used baking soda and/or cream of tartar in a pie crust and 2) never grated the frozen butter before. That was a game changer for me - and at 60 years old, I have been baking pies for 48 years now.

Great video & Grating method sounds ideal! You've inspired me to make this tomorrow 😊 I always use that type of mat, helps a great deal & I use parchment paper to make the rolling process easier.

[@salayna]

That is awesome. Please do come back and let us know how it went. I think you will really like it. Also, thank you for the parchment paper tip. Another great one.❤️

How much crissco do you use if you do not use 1 # of Butter????,,,,

[@lynnereeder7117]

Love the video….if you are making a pumpkin pie do you still need to blind bake and then after you add your pie filling bake the 30-40 min more? Was wondering if the crust would be too done? Also, when you take out your frozen dough from the freezer, do you still blind bake after rolling out? In other words,do you blind bake ALL your pie doughs?

[@ShellyCooks]

Hi Lynn, you would only blind bake a crust when you will not be returning it to the oven after filling. For example, lemon meringue, coconut cream, butterscotch. A pumpkin pie does not need to be blind baked because you are cooking the raw filling in the pie. I hope this helped. ❤️

[@carriedixon1565]

How much butter or shortening do I use?

[@ShellyCooks]

One pound or two cups. The recipe is in the notes section below the video. Good luck! I think you will love it.

[@beverlymoore5488]

Do you use AP flour?

[@salayna]

Yes I do❤

[@Rekash8484]

Can this be made without butter. My partner and I are vegetarians

[@ShellyCooks]

That would depend upon what you would substitute with. I would try a plant based butter for sure

[@JaneFarnham]

Will you make Juice Harps anytime soon?

[@ShellyCooks]

I have asked so many people if they have ever heard of them and no one has. Except of course one particular family. 😉 Are they similar to a beaver tail? ❤️

[@sarabush1961]

I see no down side to this recipe and techniques. Beat the egg with a little water, then strain it through a small mesh strainer to avoid the stringer or clear parts of the egg.

[@ShellyCooks]

I absolutely love this idea! Thank you for the tip.

[@ShellyCooks]

I tried your tip and loved it. Thank you for sharing.❤

[@charliegreatrick9099]

May I say your a beautiful lady love your videos Tim

[@salayna]

Thank you Tim❤️

[@jenniferwoods5472]

How much fat did you use?

[@ShellyCooks]

I used 1 pound or 2 cups. You can use shortening, butter or a combination of the two. You will find the recipe in the description box below the video. I hope you try this recipe. I also have a couple of other pie crust recipes in my video list. Thanks for dropping by.

[@KarenSlone]

you need a mic,can't hear you

[@ShellyCooks]

I couldn't agree more and I finally did get one. Now I just need to figure out how to use it not being very technical.
