Rolling Out the Dough: Sure Fire Pie Crust
November 27, 2009Sorry folks it took me so dang long to get to this crust. But let’s get to it.
Start with your Sure Fire Pie Crust, flour, a rolling pin and a 9″ glass deep dish pie dish.
Let your dough soften a bit.
Flour your work surface.
Flatten your dough ball out a bit. You can use your rolling pin or the palms of your hands.
Toss some flour on top,
then start rolling. Sing Rollin, Rollin, Rolling…
Move the dough 90° with each roll. This way you get the crust nice and even.
Keep sprinkling flour on it, to keep it from sticking to the rolling pin.
Look at that! I use the pie crust dish to gauge how big to roll it out. About a 13″ round is good. You want a few inches of crust to hang over the sides of the dish.
Now lets fold it in half.
The pie dish in waiting.
Let’s fold it again and
place the point, in the center of the dish.
Now just unfold, and adjust a litttle to fit nicely in the pie dish.
See? That’s it. Leave the 2″ overhang on the crust – and set your pie crust aside.
Keep going until you have enough crusts for your holiday pies: The top will be for my Harvest Pumpkin Pie, the middle with the top crust for my Old Fashioned Apple Pie and we can’t forget my Golden Pecan Pie.
This Sure Fire Pie Crust is a sure fire start to a fantastic pie!
