    A trick that always works for getting out that first pie or cake slice without breaking it: cut three slices and remove the center one. This allows the slices on the side to move and relieve the tension, without the center one breaking. This works every time!

    When I blind bake pastry, right at the end I brush it with a thin layer of egg white and pop it back into the oven for about a minute to harden. This forms a barrier between the pastry and the wet ingredients. I’ve never ended up with the dreaded soggy bottom. Also, I don’t use foil but rather baking paper.

      Yeah, I was surprised that he did not brush egg white on the bottom to finish off the blind baking, especially with such a thin custard pie filling. It's kind of the standard method for avoiding soggy bottoms with custard pie fillings. I guess it wasn't part of Julia's recipe.

    Jamie, thank you for showing your fails. I know it’s hard to be that vulnerable as a creator. And I know that our personal fails can really bring us down. But that vulnerability really helps normalize messing up, because none of us are perfect. And when we see creators curating this perfect little story of triumph without showing us that they’re working through their personal failures, it can lead to crippling perfectionism paralysis, (meaning the fear of failing keeping us from ever trying to do anything new or sometimes anything at all). I know, not everyone suffers from that, but for those of us that do, creators like you help give us courage to fail so that we can push passed the failure and accomplish our goals. Thank you! ❤

    • @afroborilafemme
      @afroborilafemme ปีที่แล้ว +53

      PS: I think I should clarify that it’s not just showing the process of failing that’s helpful. It’s the fact that we can clearly see how the mistakes affect you (it’s always written on your face or in the moments when you forget the camera is rolling but you still leave those moments in when editing) yet above it all you always persevere through. You don’t give up, no matter how challenging it might be.

      @@kellyr3816 Thank you for those words.
      It started for me in university also. I was always so “perfect” throughout hs and when university was hard and I failed my first class it started a spiral. In any class once I had one bad grade, especially if most others in the class did well, I would self-sabotage until I completely failed out of school my first time around.
      I wouldn’t know until years later that what I had was something coined perfectionist paralysis. But knowing you have it, doesn’t make it any better.
      I think it’s harder for younger generations who are growing up in this time of social media (I mean I’m not ancient but I think Jamie and I are probably close in age and can remember a time without so much technology and social media).
      It was hard enough for me comparing myself to other kids in class, let alone now we compare ourselves not only to the people we know but to all the strangers that come across out feed.
      That’s why it’s so important for more creators to be like Jamie and show that messing up is human and it’s okay instead of editing a life that looks perfect 100% of the time.

    regarding the canned pumpkin- there was a show on the Food Network where a chef (who was really good at teaching the basics) got to visit Julia at home. And, when she asked Julia what she wanted to make for lunch Julia said, "I always enjoy a really nice tuna fish sandwich." And they immediately began making a canned tuna fish sandwich with regular store bought bread, mayo, and all the things that one puts in a tuna fish sandwich. Then, as they ate, they continued talking about cooking techniques.

    So a tip that you might not know, but my grandmother taught me: When you have a pie crust, temporarily semi rolling it on the rolling pin and then transferring it to the pan using the rolling pin is far more reliable. This prevents the tearing and uneven parts (as what happened before with the tearing)
    I think Julia Child was purposefully going for a thinner crust. When you quoted the timings and I saw the thickness of your crust, I knew it wasn't going to cook evenly. American pies in my experience tend to have thicker pie crusts than French. 1/8 inch/3mm isn't unusual in French cooking. In American, it's 1/4 inch/6mm. Honestly, it's more flex to be able to make a thinner crust and smoothly get it into the pan.
    Re making the pie filling from scratch: It is HARD, but not impossible, but it takes a very long time. The tips for if you ever attempt it are: Use smaller pumpkins. Use pumpkins from farmer's markets when they are in season and ask for ones that are good to eat. And destring the pumpkin really well and strain it. TT I learned all of that the very hard way. A shortcut, if you don't want to go through that is to use Kabocha, which tastes at least similar (though lacks some of the brightness in flavor--not that anyone notices around me), and you won't have to go through the destringing and straining process.
    On if pumpkin pie taste different from a can v. from scratch. I noticed the difference, but no one else in my family did. But I have freak taste buds. It is important, though, to realize often the canned version adds stuff, so be sure to read the label before adding ingredients.
    BTW, it might be sacrilege, but sprinkling a little bit of brown sugar on top before popping it into the oven sometimes gives it an extra browning.

    I had the EXACT same sizing issue as you did w/Julia's (Aunt Helen, apparently lol). It didn't matter which butter, what protein content there was in the flour, hot room/cold room - NOTHING made it work for me...until I did the math & increased the recipe by 1/4.

    Regarding the use of canned pumpkin...I'm sure Julia has had the same experience that myself and many others (grandmother's included) have had - that roasting your own pumpkin just is not worth it. Pumpkin textures can vary by a lot - some are incredibly fibrous and stringy - and they sometimes have no flavor because they are bred for carving nowadays, not eating. Using the can actually ends up tasting way better than roasting a fresh one. I have seen numerous pros say the same thing. The only ones that roast their own pumpkins today are soccer moms that do it for instagram street cred.

    My favorite pie crust recipe is the Pioneer Woman's friend Pam's pie dough recipe. It's very similar to the one you made here but the technique, adopted for a modern kitchen, makes it much easier! You mix it in a food processor and roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper, which prevents sticking and makes it easier to move into the pie plate. I recommend looking it up for your next pie!

    Two tips, which may have been said elsewhere already:
    1. You can use the blade of a thin sharp knife like a paring knife instead of a toothpick if you don't have a toothpick. Or you can use a bamboo kebab skewer if you have any of those hanging around from a summer barbecue.
    2. To get the first piece of pie out neatly - cut TWO pieces. When you go to lift out the first one, since the second one is also free of the rest of the crust and filling, it can move a bit with the first one as you lift it out, so it reduces the stress on the rest of the pie. You almost always will get a nice looking slice out first time that way.

    This was my mother's trick when she screwed up pie dough/crust. She forked the bottom, and then baked the shell. While the shell was cooling, she made double patches of cooked pudding. She filled the shells with the cooked pudding and refrigerated the pudding pies. She didn't cover the pudding since we all liked "pudding skin". At the holidays, she made vanilla pudding, added pumpkin pie spice and used food coloring to tint it dark orange. At Christmas, it was tinted red with peppermint and the chocolate with wintergreen. At New Year's it was made to taste like a Brandy Alexander. We didn't mind the screw up of the dough. We were only interested in the pudding filling.

  • @wingsabre

    It looks great! Maybe Julie wanted a super thin crust because the filling is fluffy and "lighter" that what is expected? Either way, I think you made the right call to double the crust recipe.
    The other thing I learned is in the restaurant, they'll remove a very thin slice of pie, knowing that it's going to be ugly, and then they'll slice the rest, which will look better when you slice it up.

    • @uleubner
      @uleubner ปีที่แล้ว +9

      The point about the difference between a glass pie plate versus a metal one in how it bakes is absolutely right. In many cases, Julia isn't *wrong*, she's just writing half a century ago and using very different equipment and relying on a very different variety of available ingredients.
      The other issue with the pie plates is the depth. You'll notice the glass pie plate is much deeper than the metal one. You need an extra few inches in the circumference of the rolled-out dough to have the circle big enough to come up the sides with enough to make a nice crimped edge. Which may, as discovered, require more dough.
      It may also help to be more slow and gentle in the rolling process. Trying to roll fast or pressing the dough out by pressing down hard tends to make a ragged edge, while a gentle rolling process, rotating the dough frequently, adding flour as needed to keep it from sticking, and even flipping the dough a few times during the rolling process will all make it come out smoother. A few drops more water, for a more pliable dough, can also help.

    I was hoping you would make this before Thanksgiving! My mom has been making this pie every year for Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. She calls it "the Stressful Pie" because of the way Julia writes her recipes. I made my own for the first time this year for Friendsgiving and it felt so special. For all those watching and feeling daunted, once you get past the crust it's really not that hard. It's a fantastic pie, give it a try!
    Edit: I'm just getting to the dough-rolling segment. You're not at fault! The recipe is definitely not enough to half the dough and still be the right thickness. I prefer a slightly thicker crust anyway because it just tastes so good. I find that Sally's Baking Addiction's recipe makes the perfect amount of dough and it always comes out great.

    Brown sugar is just white sugar with molasses re-added. So the whole white sugar then adding molasses thing is...just...making more brown sugar. Kind of an odd way of going about it, but Julia did a lot of things slightly odd.
    I learned this when I was living in the very remote Frank Church wilderness and had to prepare baked goods. We didn't have brown sugar but we had white sugar and molasses. Just add them together and mix with a whisk or a fork. BOOM! You have really good brown sugar to whatever "darkness" you want.

    100% your crust issue is the glass pie dish. Generally speaking, they are all “deep dish” and with a more straight side wall. It makes the crust horrifyingly difficult to keep to the walls and insulates the crust. For pie, you want a more shallow metal dish (like the other one you showed). Often you will see the glass ones with a warning on the box that says “for presentation only” or something like that. I royally messed up several pies one year because I wanted to use “pretty” pie pans.
