Now abou...Your pie is really lovely in appearance. Now about the never touching the pie crust, that's okay but I have a suggestion. When I make pie crust in the food processor I mix it just to a nice cornmeal looking crumbly mixture, and then I dump it out into a large mixing bowl, removing the blade and then I smush it together with my hands just until the mixture is one big mass. Now at this point what you could do is put plastic wrap between you and the crust. All that needs to happen is that it all sticks together. But the tricky part is next, you do need to have two smaller masses if making a two crust pie. So take the dough one crusts worth at a time, using the plastic wrap, and form a nice tidy disc all wrapped up in the plastic wrap, then place the disc in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.Molly Loves Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933947603420338466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-92205880122727304992008-02-02T12:00:00.000-08:002008-02-02T12:00:00.000-08:00Mistake?
