    One of my obstacles when making pie crusts was always my being too slow because of my arthritis, and got hands. When you said, "pie needs EVERYTHING to be cold", I realized the one thing I couldn't keep cold was the crust dough as I rolled it out. It took me too long to do it!
    The lightbulb clicked on, though, and I realized what I needed to do: fill an empty glass bottle with ice & water to use as a rolling pin! PERFECT solution. Because once I need to sit to start rolling the dough, I can't just keep getting up to chill it, then sit back down to roll it out, rinse and repeat, if you get my drift.
    The very chilled bottle was the perfect solution. Even the tiny bit of condensation that formed on the shoulders (it was pretty humid when I did it) helped with the dough. 😊
    Your VERY informative videos are a real TREASURE, Erin. Thank you IMMENSELY! ❤

    What a treasure Erin is! These in-depth tutorials are exactly what beginner pie bakers need. I don’t care for religious bakers or someone saying “y’all” at the end of every sentence. Erin explains the “why” behind the basics. I had never seen anyone explain the five types of pie doughs you can create - that was worth watching the whole video. Wonderful 🥧

    Easily, the flakiest, most tender delicious pie crust I have EVER made. The piecrust shatters in my mouth into buttery flakes. It is simply perfect. Thank you for this video & your guidance in making it.

    She is the absolute best teacher!!! I have a pastry chef degree and was never taught why we chill, not have butter melt, how to properly roll, what size butter pieces CAN be, how to properly coat the butter in flour before adding water, par baking, etc etc. I’ve been looking for these answers for over 10 years. Thank you!

    I have watched this video over and over always fearful to try it. I have been intimated by pie crust my entire baking life. Today I took the leap and just did it step by step with Erin. I used the dough to make a Tortiere for an early Christmas luncheon and it not only turned out looking beautiful it was without a doubt the Best pie crust I have ever made or tasted. Rich and flaky and held its shape. I also used a baking stone in the oven and I do think it helped. Thank you Erin!! From a 72 year old baker who will now live making pies!!

    Thank you so much. I just discovered your channel. I was what you call a problem child, so to keep me from acting like Dennis the menace and getting myself into trouble, my great-aunt's whom all helped to raise me, kept me inside with them a lot. They all were great cooks and bakers. So I got a kitchen education. I learned a lot from them, but my childhood sweetheart's grandmother taught me the most about cooking and baking. I had an accident in the late 1980s which left me with amnesia. While I did get most of my memories back, the skills I had in the kitchen didn't readily come back. Thank God for technology and tv shows and internet shows and people like yourself. I'm relearning so many things I'd forgotten and I'm learning new things thanks to you and and other cooks and bakers. You and your channel are a Godsend. My you continue to be blessed in everything you say and do. 😍🥰✌🏽🤟🏽🖖🏽

      Yes, it's difficult to recover these skills that we knew so well! I had to relearn how to do so many things too, after a "minni" stroke.
      I relearned how to make pie dough/crust again here, finally !!!
      I was considered to be a gourmet cook, especially for cakes, pies, cookies etcetera before my stroke. Wishing you all the best!

    I have never had a crust roll out as nicely as this one did. Mine always would crack and split. I think I have always under hydrated the ingredients. I could actually pick it up like you did to flip it side to side or end over end. What a difference!!!! Thank you Erin, you're an amazing teacher.

    Being a person with a terrible memory, it’s so helpful to me to know “why.” That seems to make things stick with me much longer. I always know if I watch one of Erin’s videos, I’ll get every possible reason for the method explained really thoroughly. I also appreciate not being told that her preferences are the only way to go (unless it does matter). Pie dough is such an important skill - thank you for this.

    I saved watching this until a Saturday, when I could savor each moment. I’m 3.5 minutes in and I’m already tingling with anticipation for not only this episode, but the ones that are forthcoming. I’ve said it before, and I’ve told all my friends...Erin Jeanne delivers a delicious masterclass to a hungry audience. For FREE. Buy her book, (if you have the funds) if only to show your appreciation. Three cheers for Erin!

A LOT of people do not make their crusts from scratch because it's very intimidating. We've all seen and heard 'Do this. Don't use that.' 'Don't knead it too much. Use milk not water!' and so on. It's so nice to see and hear you explain how easy it is to bake from scratch. Thank you sweetheart! ❤🍽🙏

After it all came out BA promised to do better and then gave them bad and sometimes worse contracts, so all of them resigned from BA test kitchen videos a couple weeks ago, along with Molly and Carla out of solidarity. BA handled it impressively terribly, but that’s why they haven’t posted videos in a while.

    @notesfromleisa-land 3 роки тому +2

    How fun to watch Erin's expert, humorous demonstrations. Demystifying pie making....nothing tastes better than a homemade pie. How wonderful to see a master class on crust! The worst crust that you make (and let's face it, if you get the ingredients right and don't burn it, it is likely a cosmetic shortcoming that you will critique yourself for) will top the best crust that you buy.
    I love using the food processor for making biscuits and pie dough. I use the pulse button-delicately, gingerly, illiberally-- bring everything together so that it is discrete "clumps", dump it on silicone mat, and press into ball. A heavy hand on the processor button will undermine results. The right touch, brings everything together in no muss, no fuss way--but will not achieve the shingled results--but will get you making a crust!
    Loved the size comparison of butter clumps. Will undertake some hand technique to enjoy results of the walnut sized butter.

      @@food52 I sure did ... I love the education mixed with entertainment and there are things that I see in other channels videos and I think they need to go watch Erin and Food52 extravaganza series so they know how to do it properly :)
      Yes ... properly ... sometimes there is a wrong way and a right way and sometimes it doesn't matter ... but now I see how to do it right!! You are the best at what you do ... thank you so much

    I've watched this presentation twice already. I really enjoyed it and will probably watch it again after I get my cakes baked. You look at ease and it's instilled confidence in me. Thank you

    Erin is excellent. She explains very clearly and has great recipes. I have been baking for a long time and even so, I have learned so much watching the videos. ♥️
