All about the crust
Do you struggle with creating a flaky pie crust, or knowing how to keep your bottom crust from getting soggy?  Did you know that certain crusts work better for certain pies?  In this class we will make a standard pie crust two different ways for two different pies; one for a Galette, and the other for a fruit tart.  You will learn tips and techniques for making the dough, how to prevent a soggy bottom and when to use one type of crust versus another.
