How to Make Homemade Pie Crust

[Hiktinagnav]

lol. what's with the subtitles? ahah

[KibbIeis1337]

Soarin approved. 

[canreader]

she rolled over the edges!

[hoangpro1010]

I feel her cake dirty!

[MissAri73]

do you have to use shortening? is there something else you can use?

[cookingupastory]

@MissAri73 Butter would do; someone else suggested coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil - but I've never tried either of those. Another possibility is vegan butter, tho I haven't tried that one either. Hope this helps.

[adamina92]

I just cant take this seriously with translations like that XD

[howtodocertainthings]

She really man handles that dough.

[1hardgamer]

you rock boo

[foobletitties]

HAHAHA, 3:33

[naturalEbeautiful]

Kmsl at the subtitles! Lol! Great video!

[buuzzdandybee20]

tantrumes3 shortining is mosty flavorless butter, but butter is healthier than shortining. ;)

[tripvids420]

i like her, she gets straight to the point, no chit chat or stories about her grandma

[karinap2468]

lmao good video but translation is bad xD at 2:57 i was like wth o.O

[Gladysjelly]

Hey I have a question, is it possible not to put shortening or is there any substitute?

[tantrume3]

wwhats shortining is it soft cheese

[cookingupastory]

@tantrume3 Basically it's a fat that is solid at room temperature. In pastries you use butter, lard, or something like crisco.

[1ldailey]

@tantrume3 You could even try Coconut oil, extra virgin for great flavor!

[mrcmiller1964]

thanks for the recipe,great job. cant wait to try it

[ladedahdedah]

Thank you so much. This helped me out tremendously. :)

[minimoongurll]

For some reason everyone is seeing translations or subtitles but me..

[elfboychan]

what is up with the translation..

[candypalau14]

I couldnt concentrate on what she was doing because i was too distracted reading the subtitles....ANNOYING....O.e

[genickos]

hey can i use this crust for Quiche filling as well? if so, question...would i have to bake the crust first and then add the filling orrrrr i can add the egg filling and then bake?

[cookingupastory]

@genickos Yes, definitely. If you're following a recipe, what does it suggest? I looked up a couple of recipes - one suggested pre-baking for 15 minutes prior to adding egg filling and another said to pour egg filling into pie shell and bake. If you're not following a recipe, personally I'd pre-bake it, then add the egg filling. Just watch that the pie crust edges don't burn. 

[iiiears]

How does a mix of butter and shortening improve the recipe?

[RighteousBigot4u]

@iiiears because butter is yummy!

[journeybeyondmydays]

are these subtitles supposed to be a joke??

[vaux99100]

seems easy, will try it!

[eltsoldier]

She puts butter AND shortening into it...? All you need is the shortening...

[RighteousBigot4u]

@eltsoldier Wrong! you need butter too, or you're not making her yummy crust.

[usblg4gb]

lmao the transalation is funny

[Jemehl21]

@usblg4gb OMG! first time look with the captions on!! Some translation!! >:D!!!

[littlemissjaded12345]

@usblg4gb

LOL! Yeah... agreed! :p

[bouchayz]

@usblg4gb "two balls out of aids" :D

[jasminegirlish]

this info soo useful and will help me to get rid of my stress everytime make pie crust ;)) but what that subtitel kind of disturbing the viewer those word always folowing u when u talk

[fuckvegan]

Do you know that lard (pig fat) has NO TRANS FAT ? Why not use that ? Natural lard has no trans fat unless its hydrogenated. Get some non-hydrogenated lard and you should be good to go. Its cheaper, has more flavor, produces flakier and moist pie crust and can make your 90 year old momma achieve an orgasm. Why and why for fucks sake do you use vegetable shortening why ?????

[0badboy0]

wtf is that pastry cutter?? so much easier using ur hands...

[GeiserAlexis]

do we have to use a pastry cutter it seems like a waste of money because i will never use for another like 2 years

[TheVittleVlog]

Well done vid...Thanks!!

[hellishheavin101]

wait..... are you in a garage? aren't you just professional XD

[MyNameIsChrisR]

Does the flour have to be self-rising, or just regular all purpose flour?

[cookingupastory]

@MyNameIsChrisR She used regular all purpose flour.

[assmunch1]

Waaaaaaaaay too much handling of that dough. Every time you touch it, you are making it tougher. 1/10 that much handling and you will have a melt in your mouth crust.

[AmidProcrastination]

Omg now I'm hungry! :)

Now, what should I put into the pie crust? There should be a follow up video :-)

[cookingupastory]

@AmidProcrastination There already is! Look up Tomato Pie - that's what Catherine's partner, Tricia, made with this pie crust after it was made. =) Quite often it is listed in the 'Suggestion' panel, just to the right ->

Hope you have a chance to make both, cuz they're really good!

[AmidProcrastination]

@cookingupastory I request homemade pumpkin filling & other Thanksgiving oriented pie fillings! 

[cookingupastory]

@AmidProcrastination I don't have one of those - but I know there are lots around. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

[iononcentro]

why don't you use a blender to make pate brisée as 99.9% of pastry chefs do? The less you use your hands in this kind of preparations the better the pastry comes out. Also, you have to butter the bottom of your pan because of heat distribution, it does't matter if the dough contains butter already. Forget the shortening and poke the bottom of your pastry with a fork or it will deform in the oven.

[electronictrip]

i watch this video every time i make a pie crust ! love it! makes it so easy - thanks! =]

[ivy9857]

hie Catherine! i've a question, do i have to bake the bottom crust before fill it up first?

[girlpower328]

this is great

[wapagold]

I want to have crispy and flaky crust, and my friends says that margarine and butter doesnt make the crust crispy. is that true?

[wapagold]

do you have to have shortning when making crust?????+

[cookingupastory]

@wapagold some sort of shortening. I use only butter when I make one.

[MahOiKha]

@wapagold i think the crust would be flakier if u used shortening

[PeaceNdLovee]

Ugh I hate when there's a loud sound in the background. =/

[401Hammer]

Can you use no salt butter, Margarine besides butter.? Can you make a crust with just shortning.? How long do you leave the ball in the fridge.? I have never made a pie before and want to try a cherry pie as my first..if you excuse the levity..lol..

[lostinthemonitor]

Absolutely fantastic!! My sisters and I got together today and made meat pies for the first time! They turned out perfectly. Wonderful video, very clear and concise directions and the recipe works! We are getting together on Christmas Eve to enjoy these delicious pies. Merry Christmas : )

[cookingupastory]

Thanks! mmm, your meat pies sound so yummy! If you have a chance, take a video and share it here - would love to see how they turned out.

Sounds like a lot of fun - getting together and bakind/cooking always is. =)

Have a wonderful Christmas!

[CiaoBella059]

Wow...she made this look so easy. I have tried so many times unsuccessfully.

[tyhokan]

I started laughing half way through cause she looked like she was about to start yelling and throw the dough at someone. Great advice though.

[Hamish121212]

How are you suppose to measure half a cup of cold butter? Whouldnt a weight measurement be easier?

[Vivalarachie]

One stick of butter is 1/2 a cup.

[Hamish121212]

Thanks - but we buy butter in 500g block generally.

[Vivalarachie]

Ah, in that case, I'd probably just pack cold butter into a 1/2 cup measurement.

[nellieeeeee]

Try unrefined coconut oil instead of shortening

[Vivalarachie]

I use coconut oil a lot, but mostly for frying or in place of vegetable oil in baked goods. Does it work just like shortening would in pie crust?

What a cool idea!

[nellieeeeee]

Yes, it works. I've already made pie crust with it. i made the kind you don't roll out but press into the pan.

[graffnameseed]

i smoke hella weed and this shit lookes hella good

[7DavidKim]

You're also from norcal and you say hella

[7DavidKim]

I'm from Sacramento.

[7DavidKim]

I live in San Francisco.

[7DavidKim]

never said you did.

[graffnameseed]

at one point i did then u said u were lived in frisco THEN i stopped caring

[7DavidKim]

Are you adopted?

[Vivalarachie]

Wait, isn't this channel supposed to support sustainably grown and processed food? Why is there shortening in this recipe? Shortening is one of, if not the most processed ingredient available to the home cook. It's incredibly unhealthy and unsustainable, especially the soy and cottonseed based varieties.

How about using lard or all butter? Lard rendered from local pig fat is available in lots of places around the country, and it's much healthier and more natural.

[cookingupastory]

Personally, Vivalarachie, I use only butter when I make pie crusts at home for my family and friends. I agree with you about shortening...as Dr. Andrew Weil says, Shortening shortens life! That said, this is Catherine's recipe. I know many bakers who still use shortening in their pie crust & wont leave it out. Ultimately, the choice is up to you!

[Vivalarachie]

I understand that this is her recipe and she's free to use whatever ingredients she prefers, but it seems a bit contradictory to feature a recipe that uses shortening on a channel that's supposed to promote sustainable food production. That would be like posting a (real) chicken pot pie recipe on a vegetarian channel - it just doesn't fit. I liked that she did everything by hand, but I always cringe when I read recipes that call for shortening, and this is the last place I expected to find it.

[faylinameir]

I agree and I like the veg channel comparison. I'm kinda really disappointed in this. And in general, I kinda feel let down. Once she said shortening I paused the video. Frankly I'm let down. And again I'm disappointed in this channel.
