Pies Made Easy

With the Holiday Season in full swing, cooks everywhere are planning their special pies for the upcoming festive dinners. Some may find making pies to be a real chore, as I did, until I finally mastered the skill of making pie crust from scratch.

My mother helped me with the first pie crust that I ever made when I was about 18 years old. She made it seem so simple and the cherry pie that she tutored me though came out perfectly. It was a fact widely known that mom was a wonderful pie baker. She always made those pies look so easy to make and she could whip one up in no time flat.

Mom once told me that her first pie was a disaster. The crust was a mess and she became very frustrated with the whole ordeal. Well she kept at it to become one of the best pie bakers around. I found it frustrating too and it took me a good amount of time to achieve her status as pie baker.

With that said, I'm going to share with you some tips on how to make the perfect pie crust the easy way. You can learn how quickly and avoid a lot  the frustration by viewing my YouTube video here.




I hope this video will make your Holiday pie baking just a little easier.

  2. I used to do so much baking and cooking. I even took lessons for a while. Now I guess I'm just lazy and since I can't eat a lot of fun things, it doesn't seem as enticing.

    So...enjoy all that good eating. Have a piece of pie for meeeee!

  4. I am too lazy to make my own crust, especially since Pillsbury makes great ones I can pick up in the dairy department at the grocery.
