Though I've made homemade pie for years, making
perfect pie crusts seemed like a goal I could never reach. I'd tried many
recipes and followed several bits of' advice, but in every case, I could never
move my rolled crust to the pie pan without tearing it--usually in multiple
places.
Eventually, I chose a recipe I now always use,
because, in part, it promised perfect pie crusts, and one day, even though I
continued to do the same things over and over again, I was going to get
different results. Or so I told myself.
Finally, I had a pie-making break through: roll
the dough on a piece of wax paper and move the paper to the pie pan! Ta
da! It finally slipped easily into the pan, and I had a perfect
pie crust!
I'm sure there are a lot of you out there who
say "Of course!" to that idea. Some of you probably even have pastry
sheets. But for me, a person who didn't want to purchase a pastry sheet simply
for those days I made pies, it was an answer to a life-long problem. And maybe,
just maybe, it'll help someone out there. Someone like me.
