What's your favorite type of pie? I tend to love them all... except coconut. Do you have any fun tips or secrets for baking that have been passed down to you?

@jamesgaul3544 3 года назад

My favorite pie would be a strawberry rhubarb pie with a crumble top.,, not too sweet, I like a little tartness from the rhubarb. That's how my "little Nana" made them!! YUMMY.

@robertastubblefield6300 3 года назад

Peach, peach raspberry and black cherry are my top favorites however I haven’t met a pie yet I didn’t like!

@colleenfletcher2550 Год назад

Your recipe says 1.75 c of butter....so that is equal to one and 3/4ths cups of butter? Just 1.75 sounds odd.

@colleenbergjord9988 Год назад

I RARELY comment on RU-vid videos, but I just had to. This is THE BEST pie crust I've ever eaten. (I'm usually an "eat the filling, leave the crust" kind of gal.) I used it for our Thanksgiving apple pie, and it turned beautifully. This recipe has earned a permanent place in my recipe book!

@lorismith2484 2 года назад

I've been making pies for 30 years. This is the easiest pie crust dough to work with and the best tasting.

Pecan pie! Love your videos! You do a great job! I’m going to make my lovely wife a pie!

@cynthiawilson8294 4 года назад

Half butter and half coconut tastes great! We also substitute 1/3 of the ice water with organic vodka which adds moisture that evaporates when blind baked.

@denisef3228 3 года назад

I have so many great memories of making biscuits and pie crust with my grandmother and this is pretty much the way she did it except she used lard because butter was too costly. She would let me sit on the counter top so I could see what she was doing and help her. Ahhhhh. So many wonderful times.

I just made strawberry pie last night with your crust for the first time …. It was delicious and my husband said it was too!! Thank you so much for this recipe. I have always failed at pie crusts and gave up trying long ago. My husband asked for strawberry pie because we lucked into a whole flat of strawberries for $10 while visiting in Florida. So I looked at your recipe in your book. I also made applesauce hand pies with the left over crust pieces. Then I thought I would post on here. A win… win!!!

@amandaburger2506 4 года назад

I always do 50/50 lard and butter unless I have to make it dairy free. My Mom and Grandmother always made it with lard and I adapted my own recipe from theirs. Pie is the most nostalgic thing I bake, as a child I helped bake the pies for every family gathering and baking with my Grandma is still one of my fondest memories. I don't really discriminate against any pie, but my favorite is probably strawberry rhubarb.

@billieblake115 4 года назад

@cynthiawilson8294 4 года назад

Forgot to say that I blitz half the flour with the butter first, then add the rest of the flour and give about 3 or 4 pulses. I started doing that when making large batches of homemade baking mixes. Saves time and mess.

@loue6563 4 года назад

I love this pie crust. I have always had a hard time getting a consistent crust, sometimes good, sometimes really NOT. I saw you make this once before and have used it since and Wow! It has worked every time. Thanks for sharing this. I like most pies and yes even coconut ;-) And have been wanting a cinnamon custard of late. I think I may have to go make one.

@MelissaKNorris 4 года назад

@lou e so happy to hear it works every time for you too! And cinnamon custard sounds amazing, care to share your recipe for that one?

@loue6563 4 года назад

@@MelissaKNorris Sorry didn't check this until now.. Think any recipe would work. I have used a few basic custard recipes and it has worked well with all of them. I do replace 1/2 of milk with cream and the biggest "secret" is to use Ceylon Cinnamon. You have to order this as most grocery stores don't carry it.. It is a flakier, sweeter cinnamon. And is better for you then the cinnamon we can usually get. It has many health benefits. I get a pound of the sticks. They keep forever this way and grinding them in small batches keeps the taste fresher. I use a coffee/spice grinder to make my own powdered cinnamon. I put 1 to 2 sticks in the egg and milk mixture and let it sit in the fridge for an hour. Take out before baking. And sprinkle some powdered on top of pie before baking. { I rinse off the used sticks and put them in the freezer to use again , usually when I make eggnog } www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Ceylon-Cinnamon-Non-GMO/dp/B075LXXCVC/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2UD2MNPDJJEXF&keywords=ceylon+cinnamon&qid=1576716059&sprefix=cey%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-5

Hi Melissa, my gramma used vinegar and an egg also. Though she used lard for years then switched over to shortening when lard wasn't readily available anymore. I use half cold shortening and half cold butter. Thanks so much. Merry Christmas.😊

Hi Melissa, Well Lady youve done it again. Another great video, reminded me of Mama takeing left over bisquits putting them in big bowl pouring blackberrts over them then a little sugar over them, Guess that was the way poor folks ate in them days,, But still tasted great, Just wanted to wish you and your family a Blessed and Merry Christmas all the years to come, God Bless one and all.

👍ACV! A tip that my sister n law told me for the banana bread that I make! Question, what blade attachment are you using for cutting the butter into the flour? I just acquired a barely used KA fp... I've already tried the "dough blade"for bread one time. It's a plastic dull short blade. So That one or a longer fingered metal blade attachment? Thank you! Sharing this with my awesome wife who is continually perfecting her apple pies!! Happy Thanksgiving(belated) to you and your family and to all reading and a safe and wonderful MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!

HI @777dannydan I used the longer finger metal blade attachment. Merry Christmas to you and yours! I've never tried the AVC with quick breads I'll haVe to do that

@Givvemhell 4 года назад

Just an ol’ gramma’s observation . . . Sweetheart, you need a larger Cuisinart! Have you tried layering your butter and flour in the processor before pulsing it? I love using cast iron pans for pie, etc. baking, but I’m starting to need help carrying them when they’re full. Thanks for the great tips on crust making . . . Yup, “old fashioned” has a lot going for it in a lot of ways.

@@MelissaKNorris I may give a whirl tomorrow, but definitely this weekend as I'm taking some pies to a party.

@AnitaClue 4 года назад

@@MelissaKNorris well it wasn't perfect, but it was definitely easier than previous methods--much easier. I had to let the dough warm up a lot, and there was still enough breakage to irritate me, but going slowly and fixing breaks as they started made the process smoother. Without the elasticity that gluten gives a dough, I think breakage is inevitable, but this method did reduce it to manageable proportions. Pie crusts have always been one of my kitchen nemeses, so thank you very much for the tips!

What temperature do you bake it if it's a single crust for cream pie? Pumpkin filling pie? And for the double crust filling

@MelissaKNorris 4 года назад

I bake my pumpkin pie with the crust at the same time at 425 degrees and for double crusts with fruit it's usually 375 degrees F though sometimes I do 425 for the first 15 minutes and then lower to 375 degrees. For a single crust blind bake, no filling, (you'll find my favorite different pie recipes in Hand Made) I do 475 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes.
