Tip Tuesday: Pie Oh My: tips and tricks
A staple at the Thanksgiving is PIE of course. Here are a few tips and tricks that will help you bake a beautiful holiday pie.
1. Cold Ingredients: Although, many recipes require room temperature ingredients it is actually better for pie crusts to use cold butter and ingredients.
2. Chunks are Ok: In fact large chunks when mixing help to have a more flaky crusts. It should hold together when you squeeze it, with some dry crumbly bits. If it seems to dry add a bit more liquid.
3. Parchment Paper: To roll out your pie crust try putting it between two pieces of parchment papers. Roll from the center out while rotating 1/4 turns as you go for an even crust.
4. Fluting: To make your edges look ridged, press one finger against two and make an even impression. Do this every 1/2 inch around the edge.
5. Blind Baking: Some recipes require you to pre-bake the crust. To help this not rise place a piece of parchment paper with dry beans on top to hold it down.
6. No Burnt Edges: Using foil create a tent around the edges of the pie t prevent them from browning too quickly. There are also pie shields available for sale, which do the trick as well.
