Great tips for making perfect pie crust

Close up view of a cherry pie.
I don't know about you, but I've always been daunted by pie crusts. Even with working in a professional pastry kitchen, I'm hesitant to try it at home. I can make pie dough in large batches, no problem, but that doesn't translate to single pies/ home baking very well.

There is hope, though. Check out the step by step walk through you get from Baker's banter, and you'll realize that you too can make great pie crusts at home. The instructions are simple and direct, there are lots of pictures, and you get lots of great tips. If you've been wanting to make pie at home, but have been nervous about it, take a look at this article. I know I'm keeping this information saved for the next time I want to make pie.
