Thanks for the notes! I’m also trying to study up on the science behind pie (not so easy as pie after all…) before I bake my own, and this really helped!

@TGirl – I really like challenge butter but sometimes it can be pricey so I’ve also used Darigold or Tillamook. In a dream world I’d always use a European butter such as Kerrygold or Plugra.

My mum hated the taste of pie crust so most of our pies were actually cobblers or crumbles.

About three or four years ago I decided to learn how to make pastry and was convinced by a friend to let her teach me…I’d never had one of her pies before, but she went on and on about how people LOVED her pies. We made a pie…the crust was…umm…bad:tough and rubbery.

Since then I had another friend talk me through how she makes pie and then Tamasin Day-Lewis’ and Dorie Greenspan’s books filled in the gaps.

Now I look for any excuse to make a pie 🙂

Thanks for the recipes you posted in your next upload..will bookmark it.

I wanted to be in class, but alas, Tutu was the nanny. Ty and I made blackberry pie with your crust recipe. VERY flaky! Thanks.

This is such a great tutorial on pie making! I’m going to print it out. I’ve never made a homemade pie crust because it’s always been so intimidating, but I’m going to give it a go now! Thank you!

What a great pie class! I’m still savoring the tastes of the best pie crusts ever, apricot raspberry pie baked to perfection, and fruit tart that melts in your mouth. all complimented by homemade ice cream and french press coffee. mmmm…….. A wonderful evening.
