Ever since I was little I heard how hard pie crusts were to create. It might have to do with something with my mom saying she couldn't make one--fortunately she makes the best apple pie with a yummy pressed crust. The other day I had an urge for a home made chicken pot pie--with a homemade pie crust. I decided to get out my own way and stop saying "I want to learn how to make pie crust" and just do it!
I went online searching for the best pie crust recipe. There are too many options! I didn't know what kind of fat I wanted to use (shortening, butter, or lard). I finally decided to use butter. The option seemed a little more natural and perhaps even a bit more "French." I finally found this yummy and easy recipe. It turned out perfectly. It was light and flaky--the way a pie crust should taste.
I was so glad that I decided to finally learn. Sure it isn't pretty, but it was yummy. I look forward to making more pies to practice my rolling out and crimping skills. I am excited to develop a new talent.
