    THANK YOU! This is how my late uncle made his pie crusts. Two knives and a bowl. He never used a food processor in his life. His pies ended up winning a number of awards; not bad for someone who was not a professional chef but a dock worker! I've been looking to find a video of someone doing the same, because I want to know to do things by hand and not have to rely on a machine to do it for me. He did chill the two halves in the fridge, and he both used a roller and his hands. Roller to get the basic shape, then some hand pushing and shaping. Moved very quickly though, because it's hot in Baltimore. So not too much hand work. Also he used a tsp. of salt in the flour, otherwise the measurements are the same as yours! No sugar. He liked the crust to be flaky and the filling to be sweet as a contrast, and so that the whole things wasn't too sweet. This is how pies have been made "down home" style and I appreciate you posting!

    Debbie, great video.
    Iam a Scottish baker, trade qualified.
    Not in the bakery trade anymore, living in Australia and working as a truckie.
    You tell everyone the most important things.
    Only thing I can add is the worst thing that anyone can do is, not letting the dough rest before lining/topping a pie, as the gluten in the flour will make the pastry contract/shrink.
    As you stated, never overwork/overmix the dough, as it will make it tough and stretchy.
    Well done!!

    Great video. Using 2 knives scissor cutting is very common. Not everyone feels the need to outfit their kitchen with every "make it easier" tool. You could also grate the butter with a cheese grater that way the butter is already smaller and cuts down on your time. Definitely a thumbs up, thanks for the video.

  • @videohomeandgarden
    @videohomeandgarden  13 лет назад +3

    @cardiganmimi--- Just use a couple teaspoons of cold water. If the dough is still crumbly, add a little more until it sticks together and can be rolled out. If your crust ever gets too wet you can always add a little flour to it. You don't need to refrigerate the crust before rolling it or pressing it out by hand. Never be scared to put that crust in the oven. If you were able to roll it or press it out and get it into the pan, it is perfect for baking. Good Luck with your pies!

    I use a rolling pin and always flour the rolling pin and it never sticks,,I get a much more even]crust and it is very flaky,,Smooths out the butter infused dough more evenly,,then just roll it up on the rolling pin and place it on the pie plate easing the dough into the bottom evenly and can cut off the excess with a scissors or knife..slight slightly the bottom before placing it in the oven and the crust will not expand and you will have enough room for your filling..Bake and then put the top crust over the filling then crimp with fingers or fork baking ...(brush the top crust with egg wash and slit the top here and there. Put on a baking dish and bake 375 for 35-45 Min. If edges are getting really brown put foil around the edges to protect,,remove.. cool. and enjoy..

  • @Kuletchuchickee
    @Kuletchuchickee 11 лет назад

    Butter has to be cut into the flour until size is decreased to pea-sizes. If you throw it into the food processor, it will break down the butter into cornmeal pieces, thus decreasing it's capability to form flaky texture. It will still be flaky but not too much. Be sure to also refrigerate after making the flour/butter mixture to make sure that butter does not melt before placing in oven or before shaping them.

  • @videohomeandgarden
    @videohomeandgarden  12 лет назад +4

    @bongga8 - Cut the butter into small chunks as demonstrated in the video. You can make pie crust in a food processor if you like. The knife method is just one way that you can incorporate the butter into the pie crust. The reason that I demonstrated the knife method is that it can be used by anyone, even if you don't have any fancy kitchen gadgets. Also, the less you mess with the dough the flakier it will turn out. Thanks for watching! :)

      I realize this is an old video, but I'm so glad it came up in my search. I definitely learned some things. I've never seen butter cut in with a knife and flattening with your hands is impressive. I'm not quite ready for that. Definitely helps when you don't have all the tools. Thanks for sharing.

In a professional kitchen it doesn't matter what tool you use if you get the job done to spec. there are many ways to bone a chicken and make a pastry dough. if you have the option, I would suggest doing a voice over, so you can focus take out a few of the pauses? Otherwise, forget the haters. I'm a line cook, and I support your efforts. I wanted to see how other people were doing their thing, and I think you're doing just fine.

      I'm mixing with knives to illustrate a way to incorporate the flour with the butter using minimal kitchen tools. This is the original old-fashioned way. Of course, a pastry blender or food processor could also be used instead of knives. However, the tenderness of the pie crust may be less. Thank you for your question.
