Use these pie crust instructions to create a lattice or decorative roses for any two-crust pie recipe.
LATTICE CRUST
ROSES CRUST
Be sure to use cold butter and ice water when making the crust; it helps keep the butter and shortening from dispersing throughout the dough, which in turn helps keep the crust flaky. Also, resting the dough in the refrigerator, both after mixing and rolling out, will dramatically increase the quality of your results by firming up the fats in the dough, helping it stay flakier.
Cooking time includes chilling and baking times.
Changing the recipe size does not change the instructions. Specific ingredient amounts in the instructions will need to be adjusted accordingly.
