Foolproof Pie Crust

Time to come clean: Up until a few months ago, I had never been able to make a pretty pie. I was one of those people that my dad (a professional chef, that taught me how to make my first pie from scratch when I was about 6…) would make fun of. Yup. I’d go out an buy a pie crust from the freezer section of the supermarket. I just figured that pie crusts were super finniky, and frankly, I just didn’t have the time or patience to make them pretty.

By the time I met him, he’d been away from the MHS for twenty years and was really wanting a slice… I think more for reminiscing than anything else.
