Pie Crust

[DesertBerean]

Does it need to be refrigerated for 4 hours before rolling out? I do keep the dough as cold as possible.

Hrm. It may not matter how well I keep the dough cold...refrigeration must make it stick together better for rolling out.

I buy frozen crusts. So can't help you.

[DesertBerean]

I do sometimes. But nothing like homemade, and the way prices are, it's better.

I prefer homemade. I like being able to pronounce what goes in the crust. Also DB grate the butter. It makes it easier to work with, no refridgeration required and I make a double crust in the food processor

I only make pie maybe once a year, so am not overly concerned about what is in the ingredients that I can't pronounce.

And when I DO make homemade crust, I use my mother's recipe with lard. Much better than butter.

Grating the butter? Hm, does it have to be frozen?
