pie crust tutorial

Remember the pie I made not too long ago? The crust was a travesty, and I vowed to commission a tutorial when I came home.



Wednesday morning I made my way over to Grandma's in the early afternoon and observed her expert pie crust making in action. It doesn't look too hard, but I know that when I decide to put my lesson to practice I'll find it harder than expected. As Grandma iterated, "Making pie crusts is a skill born of experience."



So I ate almost an entire loaf of pumpkin bread on my own while I watched Grandma's skilled hands mix and roll and crimp pie crust. Really, though, the best part was sitting at her counter and talking with her and being reminded that I have one incredible grandmother.

Oh good job you! The day after my pie tutorial I rolled our four beautiful pie crusts no problem. Yesterday, however, I threw out two batches of crust in a very controlled rage because I couldn't get the consistency right. Skill born of experience indeed.

SO jealous. I pretty much have pie crust down (although I would love a Rollpat to simplify the process!) but what I wouldn't give to just sit with Grandma in the kitchen and chat...

I made your grandma's pie crust for our pies this year. They tasted good, but were rather thick due to Randy's rolling pin skills (or lack thereof). I guess I should get a rollpat to help us out.
