Perfect Pies - Terrific Tips

Posted by Cyndi Allison Nov 22, 2006

I've tried loads of pie crust recipes. Results have been mixed. I don't think it's so much the recipe as some of the "little things" that mean the difference between a great crust and one that is just gosh awful.

Sherri Brennen of Norfolk, Virginia put together a great guide for those hard-to-master pie crusts. She's not tossing out recipes. She's just giving all those tips that most cooks forget to share when telling you how to make something. The ideas are easy, and they do make a huge difference. I have to say "thumbs up" for this crust list that covers most any pie crust failure that might crop up.

Southern Pecan Pie is one of my all-time favorites. I often go with a store bake up crust, but with these tips from Sherri, I'm making crusts from scratch. You can too. This list of "fixes" is really terrific. If you'd had problems, she probably has you covered. Just read along, you'll get that "ah-ha" moment and know where you took a wrong turn before.
