Holiday pie help.....

Recommended Posts

Saw a few cats making videos of making pies and such and I need a good crust recipe.

Any family secrets to that "Oh my insert_personal_savior_here, this crust is fabulous!" type of crust(s).

I have a new toy that needs breakin' in this season and would love to hear what some-uv-yuz have.

Also, I did the math....(all by myself I might add!)

4 racks per oven, 5 pies per rack,.....Holy Shit!

That's a lot of Pie!

And that's just using one of 'em!B|

Not to give myself too much credit, but I make the best pie crust. The absolute secret to making awesome crust is to not overwork it, if it gets mixed too much it becomes tough..
For a double crust=
Cut 2/3 cup lard into 2 cups of flour and 1 tsp salt
Once this is combined and crumbly (about like small peas) Use cold water to finish the process, adding a tablespoon at a time (takes about 6 - 8 Tbsp)
I pull a little pile of the "crumbles" away from the rest, blend a Tbsp of the water into it, push it aside and pull another little pile of crumbles out, add water....yada yada til it is all moistened...but DON't mix it too much. PM me if you want more detailed explanation of what I mean.

Turn your guy card over, look on the upper left hand corner... it has a return address.... use it :D

LM... that's just not nice at all... :|

oh and like she said... simple is best when it comes to pie... I don't use Lard but a basic shortening crust (I recommend the butter flavored shortening though)

I could look up the recipe and send it to you... its not very complex...

thats just cause you used the addy yourself :P

Shortening is bland, try lard, seriously you will notice a big difference not only in texture but also flavor

oh, I haven't had my card for years...

and I'll give lard a try... see what the fam and friends think...

and for that matter isn't labor day a holiday? :P people have picnics and such... pie is good at picnics... especially my homemade cherry pie... B|

Like I said ... if the boy can cook I don't care about fall rate. I can fall with the big boys (at least I USED to be able to!).

Some girls just want pie!!

while risking my guy card also...I grew up in the kitchen with mom....garage with dad...so I make my own pie crusts while rebuilding motors in hot rod restoration projects....

the crust recipe here is the best you can get!
I use Crisco instead of lard...and the key to the flakyness is the use of two butter knives to makes the "crumbles" I like 'em bb sized and about two tablespoons less water....

then the hard part is the hour you spend over the stove hand stirring the chocolate filling so as to not let it lump up!
