In this holiday week workshop, learn the techniques for a tender, flakey pie crust. We will start with a simple, ratio based recipe and will learn the importance of choosing the right ingredients and how to mix so you add just the right amount of liquid to have a workable dough that isn't tough. Next we will learn the best way to roll out the dough and transfer it to the pan without too much cracking. And finally we will discuss how to make decorations and crimped edges before going over how to parbake your crust without shrinking, a technique critical to making custard or no bake pies and helpful for reducing soggy bottoms in fruit pies as well.
Students will go home with enough pie dough for one double crust or two single crust pies and Laura's favorite pie filling recipes.
Ages 5 years and up.
