Perfect Pie Crust

Don't be in too much of a hurry when making a pie. The pie crust can be very finicky and here is a little known hint that will improve the crust on your next pie.

When making your pie crust, before you roll it out, chill it for 15 or 20 minutes. Roll and cut your dough as normal and place in the pan.

Refrigerate the dough in the pan for 15 or 20 minutes while completing the filling for the pie.

Place the filling in the crust and bake as normal. This process will allow the shortening to remain firm and not allow as much absorption of the filling into the crust.
