Your Pie Problems—Fixed!
Making perfect pie crust is an art. With a little practice—and these important tips—you’ll be whipping up a masterpiece in no time.
Delicate Dough
Pie doughs are sensitive. Try not to pull or tug the dough when fitting it in the pan—it can cause it to shrink when baking.
Chill Out
Rolling your pie dough can get a bit, well, sticky. Chilling it for about an hour before rolling will help prevent sticking.
Stick to Shortening
Perfect pie crust? Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening is a must. Its high melting point creates tender, flaky layers in the crust as it bakes.
