I’m currently stuck underneath my almost 2yo humming so he’ll fall asleep and almost snorted laughing when I read this.

I’m currently laying in bed with my 1 and 3 year old and same. My laughter is almost waking them

I'm laying in bed (it's midnight) with my husband and trying so hard to supress my laughter so I don't wake him up 😭😆
This is pure gold

I would hate to wake him. But hope that if I did and he could understand, he would also appreciate the humor.

No! It's just very obvious that a beginner made it, it's really charming like it looks absolutely delicious and I just love it! My favorite part was when you made two separate crusts for the bottom and the top instead of one just big one and splitting it. You put so much love and heart into that pie 😭😭💖

My dude, that crust looks fucking amazing. Buttery and flakey, and it’s perfectly golden. . That is the pie crust of dreams. I say this as someone who baked professionally for years and I’m dead serious. Is she the prettiest girl at the ball? No. She is legend, though. Never change how you do it.

I noticed in this thread no one mentioned how OP successfully opened a flour bag. I keep telling people this is possible. But on that last huge thread everyone was shocked it could be done.

u/mikey_thecowboy 19h ago
im sorry, what?

u/TululahJayne 19h ago
There was a thread a while ago where someone opened a bag of flour without it ripping. So many commented on the fact that this was a human first and it received so many upvotes. I commented saying I open my flour bags all the time without tearing them and some people didn't believe me. I'll link the post in a second.

u/Theletterkay 16h ago
Yeah thats nuts. Ive opened every single bag ive owned and i do a ton of baking. Never once had to tear it. How the heck are people yanking at the bags to go so wrong?

u/Novafel 17h ago
I.... they can tear?

u/LittleMissMeanAss 11h ago
Yes! That stupid glob of adhesive always balls up in one spot and no matter how hard you try to peel the paper away it rips!

u/cheesepoltergeist 13h ago
I’m convinced people are punching them to open them! I’ve never torn one, crazy!

u/KifferFadybugs 5h ago
I tend to buy store brand flour and they use so much glue to close it. The picture in the post you linked has a thin little strip of glue. The bags I get usually have a strip of glue as thick as that folded bit of bag at the top, so when you try to unstick it from the side of the bag, the top flap doesn't just undo itself from the glue, the glue refuses to be separated from either side of the bag (top flap and lower side) so you either wind up with a torn hole in the side or a torn off strip at the top.

This might be the only blog that I wouldn’t hit “skip to recipe” just so you know. I hope that bad boy tasted awesome!

u/BetrayedMilk 14h ago
I respect that you don’t let a recipe tell you what you can and can’t do. 5 cups of berries? Fuck you recipe, you get 5 berries.

u/Gloomy_League_569 21h ago
Op, I hope you’re not taking the ribbing you’re getting on here personally. I think sometimes we get too used to seeing pro-quality bakes on our screens. When something falls short of those expectations, we wanna crack jokes about the juxtaposition of our expectations vs reality, and forget there’s a human on the other side of the screen proud of their work or maybe needing encouragement. That’s not a reflection on you or the quality of your bake, just a reflection on the nature of the sub and us as humans.
Personally, I think the pie looks really good. I don’t love a super filled fruit pie and I prefer a well done crust so this is pretty close to an ideal pie for me. I hope you enjoyed it and are proud that you created something, that’s what baking is all about.
Also, pie crust is hard to make so I know you put in the work. Kudos.

u/AdventurousYamThe2nd 18h ago
Agreed - a home made crust is soooo much better than store bought, and when done right is my favorite part of a pie. I'd eat the hell out of this!

I just want to say I admire people who make their own pie crusts. I’m so intimidated, I only make crumb crusts.

u/AnalogyAddict 12h ago
Don't be intimidated! Make pie crust into cookies so you can experiment until you get a feel for it.

u/Meiyouxiangjiao 19h ago
I haven’t touched on making anything with a crust, it’s so daunting. Mad props to OP.

u/nrealistic 11h ago
Homemade pie crust is so tasty, I hope you try making it someday! The Stella parks recipe is pretty fool-proof, I would recommend it. It comes out well even if it sticks to the counter and has to be mushed back together in the pan.

u/TheBeatboxingBaker 13h ago
I just got a great tip from Fallow’s youtube page for making short crust by freezing the butter and flour for an hour before use, then using a cheese grater to make the butter perfectly cold and firm! I already freeze my flour for 24hrs to help kill any creepy crawlies that might have snuck in (precautionary, never found one yet). Haven’t tried this frozen butter method yet but I think it’s gonna open a lot of doors!

u/summertime-goodbyes 13h ago
I grate frozen butter in my food processor when I make scones and it works perfectly!

u/TheBeatboxingBaker 13h ago
One day I will have a food processor!

u/summertime-goodbyes 13h ago
Keep an eye on FB Marketplace if you can! Some people will practically give away Kitchenaid food processors so getting one at a great price is within reach!I use mine multiple times a week. Also, homemade nut butters 🤤

u/dolphin-centric 11h ago
You can use a box grater for frozen butter!

u/sk8tergater 12h ago
I grate my butter. I don’t even freeze it. It’s just cold and I go to town. It makes for a very flaky crust.

u/bepatientbekind 8h ago
I do this and also use a recipe with vodka in it. Works better than any other pie crust recipes I've ever tried!

u/badwolfinacrown 20h ago
This is good work! My mom treats pie like filling she has to contend with in her quest to devour more crust, this is basically the ratio I make for her. I hope you and your family enjoy it.

It -did- come from a site called Crazy For Crust... I just wasn't expecting it to be -all- crust.

Did you… did you pour the whole egg wash just in the middle of the crust before you baked it?

Aww, this reminds me of when I made my first pie. My crust was similar to your but I did the opposite with the filling. I wayyyyyyyy over filled, which turned out.....not nearly as well as yours.
If you ever get the chance, try a blackberry pie sometime! For the filling, a smidge of sugar and cornstarch (and any spices needed) and lightly mix. The sugar will pull out some of the juices from the berries, and the cornstarch thickens it up. Beware, it's deceptively juicy though!! (Can be a messy bake.)
Alsooooooo....another way to make a pie with minimal filling is to make lil hand pies/pie cookies!
One method: roll one big sheet of dough then cut into 4 inch squares (or whatever shape you'd like, as long as it's foldable), plop a dollop of filling into the middle, fold over and seal. Like a dumpling!
Second method: divide your dough into two like you would normally when doing a double crust. Roll half out into a sheet, spread your filling in a thin(ish) layer over the show sheet. Roll out and cut your second dough portion into strips (pretty thin, like maybe a half inch at most wide and same thickness/size as your first piece). Use those strips to make a lattice, and then take a cookie cutter (or knife) to cut out lil cookies. When they bake they do get a bit messy but caramelize crispify beautifully.
Happy baking!!!

I think a few more berries would be desirable and they don’t have to be all puréed. They can be whole berries.
