Pie Dough

Filed in archive Traditions by Jennifer on September 25, 2007

I have a confession to make.

I have never made pie dough.

I have absolutely no problem making a perfectly tempered vanilla links

anglaise . Spun sugar decorations and hand molded chocolates are child's play. Sabayon, meringue, and chocolate dacquoise are a piece of cake.

But there's something about pie dough that has always made me nervous. Why do I find it so daunting? Why do I think it is so difficult?
I think I have a pie dough mental block!

So I'm asking for some assistance. If anyone has pie dough techniques, tricks, tips or advice to get making pie dough, please help!

The apples are in season and begging to be made into a nice pie...

Jennifer I cannot believe you have never made pie dough! With a little practice it is easy as- no, I won't type it.
I'm of the all butter crust school, so my advice is to keep it cool. It is much easier to manage after being chilled and if you find it is getting sticky you can throw is back in the 'fridge for a bit.
Mark Bittman's "How to cook Everything" has a not intimidating pie crust recipe in it.
