ha!Excellent reasoning for making your own pie crust….

Great list of recipes up there! Usually my aunts/grandma take over the cooking for the day, but I might have to start stepping in with a few tips

have a great holiday and enjoy the Trot!

Excellent question! The tips I remember about making pies with my dad (full disclosure: it’s been a few years): Stick the dough in the fridge for about an hour before you roll it — makes it easier to handle. Also — and this is a biggie — DO NOT overwork the dough when you mix it or roll it! Overmixing is what makes pie crust tough. We’ll see if I can follow my own advice …
