The fat will clog up a rotary grater. The pastry blender is best, gives you more control & they are cheap. Don't mix all of the fat in, leave a lot of it in pieces the size of baby peas. This is what makes it flaky. My perfect pie dough is always a formula of 3 - 2 - 1. 3 parts flour 2 parts fat 1 part ice water for a 2 crust pie: 12 oz flour + 1 tsp salt 8 oz Crisco (trust me) 4 oz iced water Make sure to let it chill after mixing. Roll it out between sheets of waxed paper.

this bitch sucks! No amounts are specified! And "At this point" I think the sound of her voice would sound better coming from under a bus--lame ass video!
That's what the egg is for. It hardens when you bake the lower crust with the egg. Before you put the filling you bake the glazed crust. The egg glazes and hardens so the filling doesn't seep through the crust and make it soggy. Of course, you don't always bake the crust beforehand. It depends on the filling.
Oh....thanks. I used to be really good at baking pies, but my skills has gotten a tad rusty. Do i have to pre-bake the bottom pie crust if i want to make blueberry pie?
What is the best way to make a crust for a custard pie,that won't get soggy?I've heard of using oil,shortening and/or butter.I've even come across recipis that use egg in the pie dough, what does this do to the pie?
No ingredients list = no pie dough. Thanks Cat.

Oh, yeah. Here's the quantities for a single 8-9" pie shell:
1 1/4 unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter (1/4" pieces)
4 Tbsp. vegetable shortening or oil
3-4 Tbsp. ice water

CD, you use an eggwhite to brush on the crust, not a yolk
isserking 3 years ago
But isn't the rule supposed to use egg yolk to brush on pie crust so it gives it a nice glaze?

Not true. Everyone has the own way. You can u even use a whole egg.
I personally use an egg with a bit of milk and salt.

jannell - beat an egg yolk and brush it over the crust before you blind bake it.
