Anyone can put a filling in a pie shell. It's the pie crust that gives folks pause.
This post will teach you how to build the perfect pie crust from mixing to forming, whether you're using a mix or a recipe. You'll learn about soggy bottoms and crispy crusts and how to solve those problems.
Unless you have extra time and lots of confidence, don't make your crust from scratch; most professional bakers don't. They use a just-add-water pie crust mix. It only takes a minute of mixing with your stand-type mixer and you have the perfect dough.
