Making pie crust is not my favorite activity and is actually something I historically have tried to avoid. As a result, I haven't had the kind of practice that would help me make beautiful, flaky, delicious crust. But this Thanksgiving, I wanted the crust on my pumpkin pie to be as good as possible, so I looked up tips online to see what I could learn. I knew from my aunt's pie crust recipe that making it with butter rather than Crisco greatly improves the taste, but without a lot of experience, I wasn't sure I could make that work and look pretty, since such pastry falls easily when baked. I found
this website with step-by-step instructions, photos, and
explanations as to why these steps are important. It made perfect sense and I learned a lot! I wished I'd known this stuff a long time ago.
So in your holiday baking, if you don't already know these secrets, be sure to check them out!
