Pie: The three-letter four-letter word

[dhw]

Pie.

Or more specifically, pie crusts.

You know, souffle's more difficult cousin.

What you consider when Hollandaise sauces are down pat.

Or, if you consider most of the cookbooks (even the good ones), something so delicate and tricky that you will either turn it to leather, or possibly detonate your oven. Maybe both.

Glad you enjoyed the class! I plan on taking it eventually, though I'm fairly comfortable with pie crusts. Just reading articles she's written, I've already learned from her.

I'm no pie wizard, but one tool that I've heard about is a marble slab to help keep the dough cool.
