With all the hard work that goes into making a pie, you'll want to make sure that all your effort is paid off with a perfect crust. Make sure that the entire crust is flaky by:
- Brushing the bottom with a bit of egg white two or three minutes after it comes out of the oven.
- Sprinkle it with a mixture of equal parts sugar and flour before adding filling.
- Brush the unbaked bottom crust of a pie with a well-beaten egg white before filling. This keeps the berries and other fruits from making the pie bottom mushy.
- Sprinkle the bottom with a layer of ground nuts to help absorb any extra moisture.
