[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pie crust. [/quote] This definitely. Pie crust is a pain in the arse.[/quote] YES. I keep thinking at some point it will get easier with repetition but it's a PITA every single time no matter what.[/quote] I honestly don't get that. Flour, salt, work in whatever fat (I do combo of shortening and butter) with pastry blender, fork in some cold water, that's it. The typical ratio is 3 parts flour to 1 part fat, but I go more than one part fat, like if I use a cup and a half of flour I'll probably have at 2/3 to 3/4 c total on the fats. I've never done it in a food processor (cleaning kitchen appliances is way more work than using simple tools). Now, I can never get it to roll in a circle and it tends to break apart at the edges when I'm rolling, but then I just take some from an edge that sticks out to far and stick it on with a couple of drops of water, patch the edges if I need to once in the pie pan. I have never tasted a premade crust I cared for and it's really no work at all to make it. [/quote]
