Who Knew...?
« on: Nov 15, 2012, 08:28:05 AM »
The great pie crust recipe is over.  My problem was I was trying to get puff pastry result with biscuit styled recipes.  No wander it didn't work.  I made the "Good Eats" Individual Chicken Pot Pie with Puff Pastry last night and that is the crust I am looking for.  The main difference was using bread flour rather than all purpose.  Now I'm curious as to what would happen if I used pastry flour. 

You would think after making a recipe that requires over 3 hours to make that I would be done with crusts but when I get in the mood I can really obsess. 

Anyway I also found out that this crust should never be refrigerated.  It was hard as a rock this morning lol.  Live and learn right?

The crust is the best part.

get out the dumb bells.  Beating that home-made puff pastry dough into a thin layer takes some muscles.
