MISTAKES YOU SHOULD NEVER MAKE WHILE MAKING PIES
1. DONT USE ROO MUCH BUTTER( because you want it super flaky, it will make the pie too buttery and the pie can tear while you fill it or work with it or even while it bakes))
2. DON'T USE TOO MUCH FLOUR ( be sure your butter is half the flour else you will end up with elastic dough or stretchy dough..unless you want to make fried pies)
3. DONT ADD YOUR LIQUID (WATER OR MILK) IF THE YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETELY COMBINED THE FLOUR WITH THE BUTTER
4. DONT USE TOO MUCH WATER OR EGG IN THE DOUGH. ADD EGG FIRST RHEN WATER SHOULD BE ADDED GRADUALLY ( Too much liquid or wet ingredients will make ur dough too soft and the resulting crust won't be flaky)
5.DONT OVER WORK RHW DOUGH... I REPEAT.. DON'T OVER WORK THE DOUGH
6. DONT OVER FILL YOUR PIE POUCH ( it may be difficult to close and it can easily tear or open while baking )
7. DONT FORGET TO WET THE FILLED PIE EDGES WITH EITHER WATER OR EGG OR MILK ( this will help the pie to seal well and won't open while baking)
8. EGG WASHING IS A SINE QUA NON {A MUST)
9. DONT EVER UNDER BAKE OR OVER BAKE YOUR PIES
10. DONT FORGET TO FREEZE YOUR LEFT OVER PIES..SO THEY WILL REMAIN FRESH THE NEXT TIME. REBAKING IN LOW TEMPERATURE IS BETTER THAN MICROWAVING (the pie will maintain its crust and still remain flaky)
