Pie school is in session! Christopher Kimball shows off his tried-and-true recipe for pie pastry, then uses the crust to make a pumpkin pie with a caramelized pumpkin filling (and a splash of bourbon for good measure).
Here's the recipe: 1 1/4 cups All-Purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 8 tablespoons cold butter For a double crust pie, double the recipe. You can substitute vegetable shortening for up to half of the butter. It’ll have less flavor but will make the dough a bit easier to work with.
We answer your questions about blind baking and investigate pie pan performance.
Then, we ditch the pans altogether and make a freeform Three Berry Crostata.
