Good Old Fashioned Pie Crust


Who doesn't love a good old fashioned apple pie, peach pie, key lime pie, pecan pie, or any pie for that matter? I love making pies, but I love eating them even more.

Realsimple.com has a great "how to" article on how to make pie crust. I have to admit, I'm pretty lazy and usually buy my pie crust pre-made, but it never tastes the way my mom used to make it. Her homemade pie crust was moist, crispy, and absolutely delicious! I think I hit the jackpot when I came across this article, and I'll definitely be trying out the recipe soon.

The article tells me exactly what ingredients I need and then gives me seven easy instructions with pictures to illustrate each step. They make it look so easy! Even the headlines are simple. For example, "Add water"... how could I mess that up? Maybe they are making it look easier than it really is, but this article has convinced me to give it a try.

  1. There were very simple steps, great accompanying pictures. I like the part where website users are allowed to add steps or suggestions.

  2. My mom has a recipe for pie crusts as well. And don't worry, I also buy mine premade, sprinkle some flour on the counter and roll it out so it looks homemade. :) I love Real Simple for the fact that they make things so...simple!

  3. Yum! Best thing about a pie, is the crust :) Realsimple.com is a great website, I'll have to check it out. I do love to cook on my spare time. Also, as Ruby mentioned, the part where users can add suggestions, is great.
