The insides are nothing. Just consider how cheap a couple cups of flour, some butter and a bit of salt is. Totally worth practice pies. The family will love them no matter what and you can just keep testing various crust recipes until you find one that works for you. Start with Martha Stewart's fancy dancy named one because it's made in the food processor. It's still not my favorite thing to do, but I'm much better at it now. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752458901614211514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863241420351354589.post-67345070660761864552011-11-23T08:29:52.868-05:002011-11-23T08:29:52.868-05:00GORGEOUS!

Start with freeform crostata, which doesn't have to look pretty. Or something with a shortcrust base, which doesn't have the rolling/shrinking worry to it. :)adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08226682912590034422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863241420351354589.post-18599216872300214012011-11-23T06:49:19.472-05:002011-11-23T06:49:19.472-05:00Oh boy.

My partner recently informed me that if I make him a pie, he'll completely support me if I decide to go baking school. Huge deal, right? I STILL HAVEN'T MADE THE PIE. Apparently, that's scary than returning to school at age 40. <br /><br />Good luck! Tell us how it turns out!movita beaucouphttp://movitabeaucoup.comnoreply@blogger.com
