  • Hi Betty:

    Should the dough be refrigerated an hour or so before rolling it?

    Also, can it be rolled on a clean countertop without the wax paper?

    Thanks!

  • @alang13 Yes, it is better to refrigerate the dough for an hour or so.  You may just use your countertop, but, if the dough gets stuck, there's nothing like having it on waxed or parchment paper! ( Flour the counter generously.)

    --Betty :)

  • Great video! Very informative! :)

  • nice technique here ms. betty! my crust is always a failure so i always had to do something to it but i think it will gonna be beautiful the next time with your technique! thanks so much! i am plannin to try making an apple pie!

  • Hi Betty, What if I have all-purpose flour? Can I add something to make it work?

    

  • @RubyEthridge For each cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

    --Betty :)

  • Hi Ms. Betty just a quick question what size dish did you use for this video?

  • @johnkreston It is 9 1/2 inches across.

    --Betty :)

  • Can I use two knives to cut in the fat? I can't find pastry blenders and a fork is hard to cut in the fat.

  • @Louise4251 Yes, two knives will be fine!

    --Betty :)

  • gorgeous crust technique

  • Dear Betty, Can I just mix the self-rising flour and butter stick with my hands just to make it a little quicker ?

  • @Xxnattichic123xX Yes, you may do that on this pie crust.

    --Betty :)

  • Comment removed

  • Great! I am going to try this for Thanksgiving pies! Thank you Betty for your help!

  • I just do the butter and flour bit with my fingers, home ec thing

  • dear betty, if i want to make this ahead of time, can i wait to fluke the pie crust or do i need to do i the same day

  • @bananafizz885 You may do it at any time, but it needs to be at room temperature.

    --Betty :)

  • Very neat way to roll it out with wax paper and transfer to the pie pan! Love the video thanks!

  • How many grams of butter is one stick?

  • @891krish 1 stick of butter = 113.5 grams.

    --Betty :)

  • Dear Betty, I love this recipe. The filling for this pie crust is gonna be the pumpkin pie filling. One question how long do these pie crust keep cause I want to make it ahead of time.

  • @Louise4251 You may refrigerate it for about 2 or 3 days. You may freeze it (well wrapped) for a couple of months.

    --Betty  :)

  • Can I use regular flower instead of self rising flower

  • @brittneydargusch21 Yes, that will be fine. If you want to convert regular flour to be equivalent to self-rising, then for each cup of plain, all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

    --Betty :)

  • I love your recipes, would love to know if you have a video clip of how to make pumpkin cheese cake pie... Thanks for all the nice recipes.

  • @SaharHawasli48 I don't think I have posted that recipe. You can probably find a good recipe for it on YouTube or some cooking site on the internet.

    --Betty :)

  • How much would 1 1/2 cups of flour equal to in grams ? Love your recipes, and your accent :D

  • @EvaLily101 Hi! 1.5 cups flour = 187.5 grams.

    --Betty :)

  • @bettyskitchen Thanks so much ! :)

  • Hi Betty, I love your channel! I just started baking and I was wondering if you could check out my blogg @ whatsbaking-stephanie.blogspot­.com I would reallu appreciate it! Thank you!

  • I like her accent

  • @Oedipus58921 Thanks,

    --Betty :)

  • I subbed you too awesome not to love you sooo much Betty

    --Betty :)

  • Thank you so much for this your a super star. WE LOVE YOU BETTY!!!!! xx

  • @Gemmalouiselea You are welcome for the video. Thanks for your lovely comment!

    --Betty :)

  • Hi Betty, if I wanted to make a pie with a lattice top would I double this recipe?

    Thanks

  • @TheCakeMaster2000 Yes. You would need one full recipe for the bottom crust, and you would need quite a lot of dough to make the lattices, so it would be perfect to double the recipe.

    --Betty :)

  • hi betty, i'll be making your Pecan Pie recipe but i don't have self rising flour for the pie crust. i only have all purpose flour, may i please ask what is the recipe for the pie crust if i'll be using all purpose flour?

  • @MommyNiMatty You may convert all purpose flour to self-rising as follows: For each cup of all purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. I hope you enjoy the pecan pie!

    --Betty :)

  • @bettyskitchen Hello again miss betty, thank you very much for the measurements. i made your Fabulous Pecan Pie this morning and its so yummy. i did all the tips you suggested, the cornmeal...the wax paper on the table...the fluting. i loved doing the fluting and enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing these to all of us. More Power to you & your family.

  • @MommyNiMatty Thanks for your wonderful feedback! I appreciate it so much!

    --Betty :)

  • Lots of great tips for someone just starting to learn to make homemade crust. Thanks!

  • @rachevans14 You're very welcome!

    --Betty :)

  • Could I use margarine instead of butter? Also what size pie plate did you use? Thanks.

  • @raiyajessa1 Yes, margarine is fine in place of the butter. I used a 9-inch pie plate.

    --Betty  :)

  • @iSimplifying Thanks for your lovely comment! I really appreciate it!

    --Betty :)

  • Betty, your video really helped me out today! Thank you!

  • @23SarahBeth You're welcome! Thanks for your nice comment!

    --Betty :)

  • can i use this dough for a springform pan?

  • @SuperJoeka Yes, that would work great!

    --Betty :)

  • if i make this today, can i use it for tomorrow? i want to make the shell today so i can just put the filling in tomorrow and just snap it in the oven. thanks =)

  • @crazy4llamas Yes, it is great to make it today and bake it tomorrow. The important thing is to cover it well with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it nice and moist in the refrigerator overnight.

    --Betty :)

  • my grandmother used crisco shortening for her pies and biscuits

  • @nancydrew5 I like to use Crisco sometimes. I use butter or oil usually; any shortening will work.

    --Betty :)

  • What an amazing receipe, I really enjoy everysingle one of your videos, its always a pleasure when I'm planning a special dinner to look through your lovely channel. I will definitely try your 40 year old pecan pie receipe. Take care

    Julia

  • @juju01407 Thanks for your lovely comment! I really appreciate it!

    --Betty :)

  • Can I just press the dough into my pie pan instead of rolling it out?

  • @110cottoncandy Yes, that works well with this pie crust.

    --Betty  :)

  • Hi Betty. I absolutely love your recipes (and your sweet accent). I was wondering if it is necessary to use that much butter. Id like to bake pies often but am concerned about the level of fat. Will it affect the crust too much if we used half the butter and used more water?

    Thank you for all your tips and advice. You are truly an excellent chef and teacher : )

    Jem

  • @jemali85 Hi Jem, Pie crusts, by definition, have a lot of fat. You can try to cut down on the butter and use more water; the dough just needs to be workable and to bake well for your pie.

    --Betty :)

  • Thanks for this wonderful recipe Betty. I think you should of been a cooking teacher. I'm only 13 and I have cooked so many things almost everything I know about cooking I learned from you. You truly are a role model.

    Skye

  • @yourloverisdead97 Dear Skye, Thanks for your lovely message! I really appreciate your loyalty and support of bettyskitchen. I am glad you are finding recipes that you like!

    --Betty :)

  • I like your recepies very much, i tryed the muffins recepie and all my family and friens love it. Thank you i will try for sure the pie. Hello from Roumania, Laura

  • @adrianispas70 Hi Laura! Thanks for the great feedback! I really appreciate it!

    --Betty :)

  • I keep forgetting to ask you how old your measuring spoons are? Seems I remember these from the early 70's? Love them.

  • @KissHope Most of my kitchen equipment dates back to the early 70's; the measuring spoon I used here is a little newer; it's probably only about 10 years old!

    --Betty :)

  • Hey betty you're really amazing. I am a collage student and I just started getting in to cooking. My mom and grandma are helping me with east asian dishes and now I am so glad that I have found you to help me with western ones.

    Thanks!!<3

  • @shes4hoursback Thanks for your lovely comment!  I am glad you are finding some recipes that you enjoy!

    --Betty :)

  • Thank you Betty! Your recipes remind me of what my grandma used to make when I was a child ....I could never remember how to do them so thanks for showing us!

  • @cbet0502 You are very welcome! I hope you enjoy the pie crust!

    --Betty :)

  • is this suitable for a crust for a quiche?

  • @asdfoiyn Yes, this pie crust is perfect for quiche.

    --Betty :)

  • Can we substitute the butter with vegetable shortening?

  • @nimarocks1 Yes, you may use vegetable shortening in place of the butter.

    --Betty :)

  • what a beautiful looking pie crust

  • Betty Thankyou for being you! You are like the mother I don't have. I constantly come to your site for help, you have never let me down.

    God Bless

    Jane in Canada

  • Thanks so much Betty. The wax paper was just genius.

  • thanks so much for showing this. i wanna learn to make all this stuff but my mom is not a very good baker. thank u Betty. God bless u.

  • beautiful..thank you!

  • Thanks . I have finally found a woman i can cook with, i'm some what of a vegetarian.. I'm new to your site .. So on these cold winter night's ,i'll go though your videos and see what i can find.. your doing just great :)

  • Great!!!!!!!!Thanks a lot for the video!!!!!! You are a perfect chef!

  • can I use this recipe for apple pie bottom and top crust?thanks

  • @rk097 Yes, it would be great--just don't pierce the bottom and sides. Pour your pie filling in, cover with your top crust, and then bake.

    --Betty :)

  • @bettyskitchen thanks

  • I tried this recipe for the school where I teach English here in Brazil and they loved it!!! By the way I used the plain pie crust for the pumpkin pie and it was a big hit both with the students and with other teachers who had never seen pumpkin pie before. I just could not imagine Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie!! The first time I tried it I was working on cruise ships and we had a lovely Thanksgiving Dinner while the ship was in New England.

    Thanks ever so much Betty!!!!

    Warmest greetings!!

  • @theohaeck Thanks for your lovely comment! It's nice to get your wonderful feedback! Thank you so much!

    --Betty :)

  • I made this for my keish! I used 1 cup wholemeal plain flour and 1 cup white. This is a good recipe! Thank you!!!!!!!!! Am so grateful!!!!! Using a fork is easier too. I always did it with my hands, and you method helps cut back the fridge time.

  • @queeniebee237 Thanks for your wonderful feedback! I appreciate it so much!

    --Betty :)

  • @queeniebee237  Quiche

  • @bowler8

    Thanks

  • whats wrong with the utensils god gave you...your hands

  • @bowler8

    I have very warm hands, not ideal for what I would be trying to make in this instance, so the fork and ice water really allow me to do it last minute

  • handling it too much

  • betty i just made ur pie..its the first time i tried to make a pie..it came out so perfect..everybody in my home loved it. thanks..im ur fan now

  • @rabia409 Thanks for your great feedback! I really appreciate it!

    --Betty :)

  • Hi Beety, Your video is great. Im gonna try this. Thank you for sharing. Hope to see more

  • Hi Beety, Your videa is great. Im gonna try this. Thank you for sharing. Hope to see more

  • hi betty! i made this pie crust for my apple pie the other day and it turned out so yummy! i'd never thought such simple recipe could yield an excellent taste. i didn't even use a rolling pin *gasp* i just dump it in the pan and spread it out with my hands. it may have affected the texture a lil' bit but whatever they still came out great :)

  • @nisyz Thanks for the great feedback! I really appreciate it!

    --Betty :)

  • No need to refrigerate before rolling?

  • @fitzz1971 No. You may, but it's not necessary.

    --Betty :)

  • i thought this was betty crocker's pie recipe at first

  • posted. with pumpkin pie recipe ;)

  • Oh my goodness Betty! You're my savior. haha (:

  • Hi Betty'... Will this recipe work for the pie (crust) for your turkey pot pie?

  • that pastry blender doesn't look like its helping u! :)

  • thank you batty

  • Hi Betty! I have a question

    Can you use all purpose flower instead of self rising?

    Thanks!

  • @radarsada Yes, for each cup of all purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt.

    --Betty :)

  • Hi Betty, I have a question-

    Instead of using cold butter, can I use either room-temperature or melted?

    It seems like it would be a bit easier, but i'm not so sure

  • @novaface

    I am not sure when she is going to reply to you but let me tell you something, the key for a perfect pie is to have the butter as cold as possible and that is the reason we use cold water. we shouldn't let the butter melt if you do then it is not pie.if your butter is melting, refrigate it for 10-20 mints.i hope that helps :)

  • @novaface The key to having a workable pie crust is to keep everything cold. Use cold butter, and if the recipe calls for water, use ice water. Otherwise, the pie crust will stick to the board or counter when you roll it out, and it will be impossible to manage.

    --Betty :)

  • Hi @bettyskitchen, I never thought making a pie crust is as easy as this (i'm a beginner at cooking) and I love the taste! I made this a while ago for your Fall Favorite Fried Apple Pies and they're delicious! Thank you Betty!

  • @myshemay Thanks for the great compliment!

    --Betty :)

  • Hi @bettyskitchen, can i use this as a substitute to the pre-made pie crust circles you used in Betty's Fall Favorite Fried Apple Pies? because it's hard to find a pre-made pie crust in our area. will it taste exactly the same as the pre-made? thank you in advance.

  • @ninjatot Yes, you definitely can use this. It will be better than the pre-made--I just used those for convenience.

    --Betty :)

  • @bettyskitchen great! thanks!

    i have another question (sorry for asking too many questions) can I use All Purpose Flour instead of Self-rising flour? I'm not sure if the quality of the crust would have a big difference...

    ... and also on your Fall Favorite Fried Apple Pies, can i use olive oil or any cooking oil (like putting the olive oil in a spray bottle) to grease the baking pan? which among the two oil would you prefer? thank you.

  • @ninjatot Yes, you may use all-purpose flour in this recipe. It will make very little difference. If you want to convert it to self-rising flour, then for each cup of plain flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt. For the fried pies, yes, you can use cooking oil. I would choose peanut oil, because it has a higher smoking point that olive oil.

    --Betty :)

  • @bettyskitchen thanks for the tips! i'm jotting it down now. i'm learning so much from your channel! i'll now shop for the ingredients tomorrow..

  • wow that was a beautiful pie crust

  • Thank-you for saving my life. I have to bake for my wife this week end and you have given me the confidence to do it. You make it look so easy and explain it so well. Please post more well done.

  • @cupomash2 Thanks for your sweet comment!

    --Betty :)

  • Oh! Okay thanks and keep up the good work!

  • Hi I've done a lot of your recipes you've seem to have one for everything I need,and there great!! But I have a question I'm going to make this crust for apple pie and you said put holes in the crust if I'm going to bake it right away. But in your apple pie filling you said make sure your crust does not have holes what do I do???

  • @theATHEISTmind You will need to put holes in the crust if you are baking the crust alone, and then filling it with something like chocolate pie filling. If you are actually baking your filling along with the crust, you do not want holes in the crust, because the filling will leak through to the bottom of the pie plate and stick.

    --Betty :)

  • is this pie crust suitable for chicken pot pie?

  • @ciwowo Yes, it is wonderful with chicken pot pie--perfect!

    --Betty :)

  • Can I make the crust the night before? If so how can I keep it. Would I still need to use the fork the next day? Your videos and recipes are really great, thank you for sharing them.

  • @ashleybunify Yes, you can make the crust the night before. You still need to make holes in it with a fork, either the night before or the next day, if you are baking it unfilled. If it is baked with the filling it it, you don't need to use the fork on it.

    --Betty :)

  • @bettyskitchen Thank you Betty. I am fascinated by some of the American holiday traditions. My husband & I are hoping to visit soon but will definitely have a pumpkin pie this Halloween :)

  • i always keep trying, i'm only eleven but if i keep trying i guess i can be a great cook when i grow up :) can you please tell me where to buy the pre-crumbed graham? thanks ;)

  • @AquaClarisse I can easily find them at my local grocery store, Kroger. If you can't find the crumbs, put graham crackers in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are very fine.

    --Betty :)

  • Best tutorial EVER!! Epic! Thank you.

  • betty can you tell me what size pie dish you are using?

  • You gave a great tip here, Betty. To go on from the mixture being pea-sized to being more like cornmeal. Too many recipes say to stop when it's pea-sized, which makes for difficult rolling.

    I love making pies. (Oddly, I don't like eating them. I just give them away!) Your video and style is one of the most sensible ones I've seen in years. You don't rush the process, which many people try to do in their videos. Sometimes, good food just takes time and patience. Great job, Miss Betty!

  • You make this look so easy, but my pie crusts never come out right, either too crumbly, too heavy,or dry, too something, but for sure not right. If I don't have butter, can oil be used ?

  • @Stillyoungat49 Yes, oil will be fine!

    --Betty :)

  • Can you tell me please how can make it with apples?for example i put only apples or and sth else?you know apple pie

  • hey betty thanks for such a nice recipe love it.

  • @uzbaha123456 You are welcome! I hope you enjoy the recipe!

    --Betty :)

  • hi betty i am 10 yrs and i love your video's there so awsome and i am going to make a pie with your pie crust recipe it is a friday and i can't go to school because i have a filed trip but noone gave me the form so i stayed home and i was going to do a suprise for my mom, my sister, my older brother,and my younger brother,and my uncle and i am going to make apple pie so thanks soooooooooooooooooooooo much :)

  • I hope your apple pie turned out great! I am proud of you  for undertaking such a complicated task!

    --Betty :)

  • Hello miss Betty,just have one question,if you are making pie crust for... 4,and you have already SERVED 2 pies,with the other 2 pies left...after being made with homade pie crust,is it ok to put the other 2 in the freezer and save them? or will the crust get to hard..after being homemade ?

  • Becasue there is a difference between store bought pie crust, and homemade. Example..for store bought,after making pie,you can put in the freezer for later on. How ever being made with homemade style,there could be a difference after freezing pie,thats why i ask,thanks.

  • You can freeze them the same.

    --Betty :)

  • Yes, you can freeze your leftover pie crust for later. Just thaw them as use as is they were freshly made!

    --Betty :)

  • Thank you so much for your videos. I've just subscribed and plan to try many of these recepies! I have tried for yrs. to make the pie crust right, but had not been taught and couldn't find anyone that still makes them homemade. This is so special. Thankyou for your videos.

    yoli

  • You are very welcome for the videos! I appreciate your comment!

    --Betty :)

  • Thanks Betty! I'm a 23 year old guy and I just baked my first pie in my life. Sure it was just a chocolate cream pie, but your pie crust video helped me out a lot!

  • Thanks for your lovely comment and for the great feedback!

    --Betty :)

  • Hi Betty you are so pretty making the pie crust.

    I learn something from you today using the wax

    paper covering the dough. When I rolled out the

    flour dough it would stick on the roller pin and now

    I know to use the wax paper. Beautiful pie crust.

    I will have to try this when I make my Pumpkin pie. I saw your other video of the turkey and that's the way I do my turkey with salt and butter.

    I was worried that you were going to stain your

    beautiful blouse not wearing an apron.

  • You always have the sweetest comments! Thanks for watching my videos. I am glad that you find things you can use in them!

    --Betty :)

  • what kind of butter should i use. salated or unsalted

  • I use salted butter. Thanks for your question!

    --Betty :)

  • I use salted for all cooking! =D

  • I do, too!

    --Betty :)

  • Thanks Betty! You made it very simple! I was making a apple pie for my in laws and was very worried about the crust! lol I love how you make things 1.easy 2.you think out of the box 3. remember everything 3. and make things homemade....you're the best!!!!

  • Thanks for your lovely comment!  I love cooking for people like you! Thanks again,

    --Betty :)

  • You are very welcome! Thanks for your kind comment!

    --Betty :)

  • I like your wax paper technique, I'll try it next time I do a pie!

  • Pie crusts are always a little messy, but I think the waxed paper makes it a little more manageable! Thanks for your comment!

    --Betty  :)

  • I am the baker in my family an I always make about 15 sweet potato pies for Thanksgiving for everybody. I ALWAYS wanted to do my own crust instead of buying the crust. You have made it so simple and easy! Do I have to put whole in the crust if I am making sweet potato pie?

  • No, you do not need to prick the uncooked pie crust with a fork. Your pie would be done just like my pumpkin pie--just pour the filling in and bake! Thanks for asking!

    --Betty :)

  • Girl I LOVE that Bracelet you have on...And the recipe is nice also :-)

  • Thanks,..., and thanks!

    --Betty :)

  • How do you keep your body shape while being an awesome chef?

  • I have a rule that I will not break. I eat anything I want, but I only eat small portions. Plus, I work out at the gym 4 times a week. I have done this all my adult life, and it has worked for me.

    --Betty :)

  • Is muffin able to be bake in the toaster?

  • If you are asking about the pie crust being baked in a toster oven, yes, I think you could get that to work--Betty :)

  • Thank's for shaing !!! great vid
