PERFECT , NEVER FAIL PASTRY CRUST
I used to call my MIL the "Queen of Pies" as she would serve 2 different pies EVERY night for dinner. So...when I married her son and felt that I had to make pies... I was quite intimidated by trying to keep up to her standards. This recipe gave me enough confidence that even she gave me the "nod"!!! Obviously with practice, I have got better over the years....but this recipe was very forgiving to me when I first started out making pies!!!!

Tips:
- Use chilled butter: Cold butter is easier to work with and will help prevent the pastry from becoming tough.
- Work quickly: Overworking the pastry will make it tough. Work the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before rolling: This will help the pastry to hold its shape and prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- Roll the dough evenly: This will help the pastry to cook evenly.
- Trim the edges of the pastry: This will help to prevent the pastry from shrinking and curling in the oven.
- Bake the pastry at a high temperature: This will help the pastry to rise and become crispy.
- Brush the pastry with milk or egg wash before baking: This will help the pastry to brown and become shiny.
Conclusion:
With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect pie pastry every time. Just remember to use chilled butter, work quickly, chill the dough before rolling, roll the dough evenly, trim the edges of the pastry, bake the pastry at a high temperature, and brush the pastry with milk or egg wash before baking.
