You are by far the best instructor on making a pie. I feel like just sat in a class in culinary school

[@elizabethdoubet6154]

Thank you so much for this - I followed your recipe yesterday (for an apple pie) and brought a piece to my 95 yo grandma who always made the best pie on Earth (I used her filling recipe but just couldn't figure out how to do her crust in our written form), and her response was, "It tastes just like mine!" She can no longer bake, so I will use this recipe to keep her tradition going. The tips were so helpful!

[@How2Heroes]

Elizabeth Doubet That is wonderful. Thanks for sharing and for being so kind to your grandmother. I bet you made her day :-)

[@kmydesire12]

Elizabeth Doubet this really warmed my 💕 Your grandma I bet I really proud of you. 👏🏼But I bet she won’t give that recipe for the filling???🤷🏻‍♀️But this sounds like is so delicious 😋😋

[@acarpenter2521]

Wow. Thank you so much for this video. I'm 60 years old and have been trying to make a good pie crust all of my life After so many bad crusts, I too suffered from pie anxiety and resorted to using the store bought crusts. Today I wanted to make a chicken pot pie, but didn't feel like going to the store for just a crust, and so I came across your video. I followed your recipe and tips and it turned out wonderfully. Flakey and light and perfect. This video is going into my favorites folder until I have the process down pat, and I'll never buy another packaged crust.

[@jacquelynclaxton3712]

Love her laid back approach. Takes the pressure off if you are nervous about pastry making.

The PERFECT pie crust and I do mean PERFECT! I have been struggling with pie crust for 30 YEARS and My strawberry rhubarb pie was a HUGE HIT. This was the recipe and direction I was looking for. Thank you so much for this video. Excellent instruction and excellent pie crust.

[@VeronicasVeil333]

I love this video. I am now using these tips - the folding and the water spritzing! I made a crust way too dry today and spritzed it and it came out perfect!! Thank you!!

[@dlo111]

I wish I had seen this before I made a crust today. I put mine in the fridge, then saw this video and so I missed some great tips! Next time for sure, I bookmarked this amazing video. Thank you so much, my grandmother has passed and I never got her pie crust recipe before she left us. This makes me so happy. 🤗

[@judithdonn2731]

I LOVE this down to earth, confident, you can do it presentation! I think she may have just have offered solutions to a my pie crust Problems-use MUCH bigger chunks of butter and her method and demo of determining amount of water to add. Very very helpful. THANK YOU.

I love this video has had almost 1 million views. I myself am responsible for about 10 of those. Really changed my pie crust forever. I was doing many things wrong and this 15 minutes of instruction corrected a lot! thank you!

[@LGAussie]

I use all butter because crisco or shortening has hydrogenated oils in it. Clogs arteries. I love the taste of butter better anyway. I like how u picked the parchment up to take it off. Other ppl can’t get it off so easily. I thought of spritzing the parchment prior with oil spray, just a tad so it slides off, but ur way was even better. I flute my edges so easily, and faster than anyone I’ve seen, so I should do a video someday to demonstrate it. I loved ur water spritz to moisten the dry areas too. Easy and great method!! 5 STARS!! 🌝👍

[@rachelturcotte9245]

I agree, hate crisco crap & I refuse to use it! Real butter all the way!

[@LGAussie]

@@rachelturcotte9245 Nothing compares except Crisco that isn’t hydrogenated, maybe butter/Crisco, but if u use all butter for crust, which is the tastiest, just add 1 T. Vinegar. It makes it more flaky. 🤷👍

@@How2Heroes But it worked! Seriously though, we have purchased King Arthur products for years, have some of the more "exotic" flours, ground seed, and meals in the freezer right now. We love the kitchen products and utensils. But I have to admit, I am terrified by even a generic bag of all purpose flour. Because it screams, "CALL ME PIE CRUST, YOU LOSER!" So I just turn the bag facing away from me when I dip into it for biscuit fixins, cake batter, or cinnamon rolls... I even send someone to the grocery for it for me. "Here's 99¢, the Piggly has it on special, but be careful, it'll jump up an gitcha!" And then the powers that be all powerful and such, went and downsized it! That and granulated sugar. New and improved! Same product, new price improved the mills I'm hoping. Oh, the heartbreak of a "wanna be like Mama pastry chef" 😭 I have to admit, though, your personal trade secrets gave me a renewed sense of courage to overcome this former terminal illness. I am playing Jim Croce and hearing Rolling Pin Derby! Iffen I get taken out, let it be on a 6" slab of marble still laced with the remnants of my "Two Ingredient Fudge" and my face powdered up in translucent all purpose!

[@duffkw]

such an awesome story, I tell kids (I am 59) to always have their Parents, Grandparents write down the family favorites. Once we are gone, the recipes go with us. I never had my Great Grandmother write her recipe for a Sunday Pork roast, I so miss the savory taste, the gravy she made from the drippings. I salute you for tackeling the task. Take a few moments, write your recipes down, the future will admire you always for doing so. God Bless and do stay safe.

I so like the style of this lesson, it's GREAT to see how to recover from situations, rather than just seeing a perfect execution. thanks

This is a class act presentation. For about the last 5 years I have been taking one or two classes each summer at the Baking Education Center in Norwich, VT. If you love baking, and doing it the right way, DO THIS for yourself. It's a lovely spot.. it's a great get-away.. the instruction is excellent.. the classes are small (read 'Manageable').. Instructors are very approachable.. and want, more than anything, for you to understand and 'get it'. A great team-builder exercise too.. even if your team isn't involved in culinary. (Ps- I do not represent the company in any way. I just enjoy seeing things done right.)

[@alexandramcleod2079]

I wondered what the reason is to put that plastic on? Is it to keep the rolling pin free of pastry?

[@joycegallowayparker9652]

@@alexandramcleod2079 It actually serves a couple of purposes; one is to keep the rolling pin from sticking to the pie crust, and another is to keep the crust covered so it won't dry out.

Thank you...I learned how to measure flour many moons ago, in H.S. cooking class.. it's saved me much heartache bc I've baked A LOT over the yrs. Luv it! So has my family, n'bors, & friends. I use oil to make pie crust. It's a bit of a hassle, but you can use a lot less FAT! & none of it is hydrogenated (saturated fats). Also, I tend to make a crumb topping when a pie needs 2 crusts, to cut down on fat...fat, which is the major contributing factor to Type 2 diabetes.

Really like the way you use the parchment and plastic to handle the dough, kinda like having a "backing paper" on contact sheets.

[@kberken]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been miserably failing at pie crusts my entire life. And I consider myself a good cook! My mother used to make fabulous pie crusts, and even though she taught me a lot about cooking and baking, I never could get my crust to be as flaky and tender as hers. I have tried a gazillion different recipes and methods over the years, none worked. So here I see this, use shortening and butter, leave the butter pieces larger, and when you got to the part where the mixture looks partly wet and partly dry, I said, that's where I can't figure out how to get more water in the mix without overworking it. Your method looks like magic! Dump it onto parchment paper, line it up, fold it over, and if necessary, gently mist some water over it all. Then refrigerate it. Finally, rolling it from the center to the outside only. And refrigerating it again before filling. This method appears to be exactly what I have been needing forever! I will try it and hope for the best! Thank you again!

I’m a good cook, ( at nearly 84), always have been since my grandmother taught me when I was 8 years old. She always used lard (pigs fat). I had a wonderful recipe for pastry, then I mislaid myself hand written recipe book. 😢. I assume the shortening in this recipe would be lard, as butter is included later in the recipe. I had lard on my list today, but there was none at our one and only supermarket, so I made a batch of scones instead. They were well received by my husband for lunch.

For example, the first step is very important to explain the flour, dig into bin of flour and pack it down into meauser tool is very different weight of and use a shovel to the measuring tool, and this effect will also cause the dough to be too dry. There are other tips that are also very useful.
