    Easily, the flakiest, most tender delicious pie crust I have EVER made. The piecrust shatters in my mouth into buttery flakes. It is simply perfect. Thank you for this video & your guidance in making it.

    What a treasure Erin is! These in-depth tutorials are exactly what beginner pie bakers need. I don’t care for religious bakers or someone saying “y’all” at the end of every sentence. Erin explains the “why” behind the basics. I had never seen anyone explain the five types of pie doughs you can create - that was worth watching the whole video. Wonderful 🥧

    One of my obstacles when making pie crusts was always my being too slow because of my arthritis, and got hands. When you said, "pie needs EVERYTHING to be cold", I realized the one thing I couldn't keep cold was the crust dough as I rolled it out. It took me too long to do it!
    The lightbulb clicked on, though, and I realized what I needed to do: fill an empty glass bottle with ice & water to use as a rolling pin! PERFECT solution. Because once I need to sit to start rolling the dough, I can't just keep getting up to chill it, then sit back down to roll it out, rinse and repeat, if you get my drift.
    The very chilled bottle was the perfect solution. Even the tiny bit of condensation that formed on the shoulders (it was pretty humid when I did it) helped with the dough. 😊
    Your VERY informative videos are a real TREASURE, Erin. Thank you IMMENSELY! ❤

    She is the absolute best teacher!!! I have a pastry chef degree and was never taught why we chill, not have butter melt, how to properly roll, what size butter pieces CAN be, how to properly coat the butter in flour before adding water, par baking, etc etc. I’ve been looking for these answers for over 10 years. Thank you!

    I have watched this video over and over always fearful to try it. I have been intimated by pie crust my entire baking life. Today I took the leap and just did it step by step with Erin. I used the dough to make a Tortiere for an early Christmas luncheon and it not only turned out looking beautiful it was without a doubt the Best pie crust I have ever made or tasted. Rich and flaky and held its shape. I also used a baking stone in the oven and I do think it helped. Thank you Erin!! From a 72 year old baker who will now live making pies!!

    Thank you so much. I just discovered your channel. I was what you call a problem child, so to keep me from acting like Dennis the menace and getting myself into trouble, my great-aunt's whom all helped to raise me, kept me inside with them a lot. They all were great cooks and bakers. So I got a kitchen education. I learned a lot from them, but my childhood sweetheart's grandmother taught me the most about cooking and baking. I had an accident in the late 1980s which left me with amnesia. While I did get most of my memories back, the skills I had in the kitchen didn't readily come back. Thank God for technology and tv shows and internet shows and people like yourself. I'm relearning so many things I'd forgotten and I'm learning new things thanks to you and and other cooks and bakers. You and your channel are a Godsend. My you continue to be blessed in everything you say and do. 😍🥰✌🏽🤟🏽🖖🏽

      Yes, it's difficult to recover these skills that we knew so well! I had to relearn how to do so many things too, after a "minni" stroke.
      I relearned how to make pie dough/crust again here, finally !!!
      I was considered to be a gourmet cook, especially for cakes, pies, cookies etcetera before my stroke. Wishing you all the best!

    @shirleyflowers3697 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I have never had a crust roll out as nicely as this one did. Mine always would crack and split. I think I have always under hydrated the ingredients. I could actually pick it up like you did to flip it side to side or end over end. What a difference!!!! Thank you Erin, you're an amazing teacher.

    This is the most effective teaching I’ve ever experienced for making pie pastry. I can’t wait to try what I’ve learned. And, I can’t wait to see the next videos in this series. Thank you sooo much for this, Erin and Food 52.

    I saved watching this until a Saturday, when I could savor each moment. I’m 3.5 minutes in and I’m already tingling with anticipation for not only this episode, but the ones that are forthcoming. I’ve said it before, and I’ve told all my friends...Erin Jeanne delivers a delicious masterclass to a hungry audience. For FREE. Buy her book, (if you have the funds) if only to show your appreciation. Three cheers for Erin!

And all of the very important topics concerning making crusts you have made so easy for everyone to feel comfortable with making their own from scratch. A LOT of people do not make their crusts from scratch because it's very intimidating. We've all seen and heard 'Do this. Don't use that.' 'Don't knead it too much. Use milk not water!' and so on. It's so nice to see and hear you explain how easy it is to bake from scratch. Thank you sweetheart! ❤🍽🙏

After it all came out BA promised to do better and then gave them bad and sometimes worse contracts, so all of them resigned from BA test kitchen videos a couple weeks ago, along with Molly and Carla out of solidarity. BA handled it impressively terribly, but that’s why they haven’t posted videos in a while.

    Thank you Erin so much for the pie crust tutorial! I live in south Louisiana, and it's still summer here, though finally down to the upper 80's with reasonable heat indexes. I usually buy pie crust, but I'm tired of getting a rancid product from the store. Pillsbury crust I just bought the day before I was going to use it. I decided it would be much more reliable to make my own after having my quiche pushed back a day because the crust I had was rancid. I used my hands to make my first attempt the last week of Sept. 2022 and a little butter came out when I baked the quiche. My fingers were buttery slick when I finished squishing the butter. But I gave it some extra tosses with flour before I added the water. My hands are perpetually warm as is every surface. I make dough on my glass top stove because it stays a bit cooler. It came out well enough, it tasted fabulous! But I didn't refrigerate it enough. I used sugar as my pie weight while I par baked the crust. I also use a pie shield. My oven overcooks the edges.
    It's the first week of Oct. 2022. I just made my second attempt this afternoon, and they are sitting in the refrigerator over night. I used a pastry blender after putting everything in the freezer for 10 min. before I started. It worked out a lot better. It stayed cold, and came together well when I added ice water. The size of the butter is about the same size as my 10 mm pie weights. I'm making a pumpkin pie tomorrow with one crust and freezing the second one for something next week or the week after. My grandma's pumpkin pie recipe doesn't call for par baking the crust and it always comes out well. I'm going to bake it like I normally do. I'll experiment with it later. It might benefit from par baking. I'll edit this post to let you know how it comes out.

    Thank you so much Erin. You have given me so much insight in making pie dough (it petrified me). Your lesson on rolling it out and how to roll is absolutely amazing. I have been doing it all wrong and couldn't figure why whatever I rolled was always uneven. Thank you.

    These are GREAT! I am hopeless at pie crust and this explains things so much better than books or the other videos I've seen.

      Why is there sooooo much talk? It's taking your attention away from the project. I need to see how you make the pie shell.

    I am a crazy pie lady. I make about 15 apple pies each fall, 5-10 cherry pies at Christmas and a bunch of other pies throughout the year. I love your butter size explanation. I have always made my butter pea size. I just made a crust for chicken pot pie using the larger butter size. I was surprised how well it rolled out. It was so flaky and delicious. I will be experimenting with butter sizes now. Thank you for the tips. Your book is now in my cart. There is always more to learn. Thank you! Happy baking. 🥧🥧🥧

    I have to say thank you again. I have been told there's nothing to it and had poor results of making pie crust. I have been impressed with your technique and explanation at each stage. I am so grateful for this indepth pie douch and crust. God Bless you Erin. just love you videos.
