do not, i repeat, do not waste your time making your own pie crust. well, maybe that is the non-baker in me. in case you didn't know, i do not bake. you will RARELY find a post related to baking on here. for some reason i am just not good at it. yes, i screwed up chocolate chip cookies once. i think it has to do with the preciseness involved. i'm just not a precise kinda person. my husband always yells at me because it is few and far between where i actually follow a recipe verbatim. that's what's great about cooking. most of the time you can manipulate a recipe to what you want it to be. baking? not so much. if you add too much baking powder... it could be disastrous. that would be why i buy my pie crust!
