This is the best lattice pie crust write up that I have found on line. Everytime my wife and I bake a pie we pull this site up. Thank you.

Hi Zoe,

With a lattice top crust you always have to bake the filling with the crust. If you are doing just a bottom crust you can blind bake it first, if your filling is particularly wet and you want to crisp up the crust slightly.

Thanks, Zoë

Hi Zoe!
Love your site. Was wondering – is the filling poured into an unbaked crust? Or should I blind bake it first?

Thanks,
Zoe

Hi Kristen,

Great question.

I have, but the problem can be that the pin will sweat if the room is really warm and humid. It is best just to keep the pin stored in a cool place, like the basement or a low drawer, where it won't get so warm.

Thanks, Zoë

Hi Zoe – great info re pie crusts! I’ve been afraid to make my own.

One follow up about the rolling pin – I seem to have read somewhere that it helps to chill the marble rolling pin, too. Do you do that?

Hi Katrina,

Great tip, another way to try it for those that haven’t had luck in the past.

Thanks! Zoë
