Item #14 - Learn how to make the perfect pie crust. Over. Done with. I finally was able to feel like I had accomplished this one. Like I said in my Thanksgiving post, I did make a pie crust that turned out pretty good, but I wasn't happy with the rolling out process. I felt like it was still too hard and crumbled just a little too much as I was working with it. So after getting some hints from friends and FaceBook friends and watching some YouTube videos, I pulled all of those tips together and made it. I made a pumpkin pie and brought it to school for all the teachers and administrators to try. I received rave reviews. I heard things like "the crust is so flaky", "the crust tastes wonderful", and "can I get your recipe?"!
So without further ado, I will attempt to give you the perfect pie crust recipe by pulling together all of those tips I found and piling them up here for you. I'm not going to reprint the recipe itself as I found that part on pinterest.
The Recipe
How to Roll Out Pie Crust
In addition to the recipe and the video, I also had a hint to add a tsp of vinegar to help break down the gluten and make the dough easier to roll out. I'm sure I will revisit this over and over again as I incorporate new hints and try new recipes, but for the purpose of crossing it off my list, i think the reviews on Thursday are enough for me to pass this test.
