I use my grandma's recipe. </p> <p>2 cups flour, 1/2 cup oil, 1/4 cup milk. </p> <p>This is for the top and bottom so you half it if you only want the bottom crust. It's very scamp so you have to roll it super super thin, but it's very flaky and yummy. I don't believe in mixing with a spoon, it's much easier to just use your hands and make sure not to over mix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-pie-crust#post-429725 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:35:15 +0000 chrispygal 429725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm making a pie, I'm making homemade crust. Otherwise, no reason to maka a pie in my opinion. All the Thanksgiving pies where we went were homemade and the crust wasn't good. Now I really want pie! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-pie-crust#post-429715 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:31:03 +0000 autumnlove 429715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I will look for that recipe! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-pie-crust#post-429710 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:30:21 +0000 lemong 429710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I love the crust! At Thanksgiving, my MIL made them gluten-free because she can't have gluten, which made me kind of sad. Now I feel I need to make a full gluten crust but that's kind of difficult with a 4 month old with a cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-pie-crust#post-429692 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:23:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 429692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really excited to make my own for the first time for Thanksgiving. Then i got my first pregnancy migraine and was down for the count, so Pillsbury it was. DH even needed to help me peel the apples.<br /> next time I make a pie I'm going to try a supposedly fool proof method from Serious Eats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-pie-crust#post-429689 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:22:32 +0000 sarac 429689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I think pie crust is the easiest thing ever - especially graham cracker! Buying your own is just throwing money away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-pie-crust#post-429677 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:18:51 +0000 MrsSCB 429677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! I didn't always -- I was pretty intimidated for awhile, but once I tried it and saw how easy it is (especially with a food processor) and how good it tastes, I always do now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-pie-crust#post-429671 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:15:26 +0000 JerricaBenton 429671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 50% of the time I do. It depends on my mood and the time I have. I think homemade tastes better but I feel like a lot of people don't even notice so I guess it depends on the crowd I'm baking for, too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-pie-crust#post-429667 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:13:55 +0000 tororojo 429667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't, but I'm impressed by people who do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-pie-crust#post-429654 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:10:06 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 429654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made them for the first time over Thanksgiving. I was really nervous because I've heard that pie crust is really difficult to get right. They turned out great though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-pie-crust#post-429649 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:08:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 429649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I'm usually more excited about the pie crust than the filling, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-pie-crust#post-429645 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:07:57 +0000 autumnlove 429645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make graham cracker crust but not the kind I need to roll out. </p> <p>Do you make your own pie crust or do you buy them ready made? </p>
