Pie ... Sweet or Savoury

[a_boleyn]

I haven't made a pie in ages but the various flyer sales for stone fruits (nectarines, peaches and plums) tempted me and so I scoped out what was available. I ended up going to Food Basic and picking up a clamshell of nectarines cause I had a bad experience with last year's basket of peaches. They were firm but not as sweet as I would have liked

There is nothing more glorious than a fresh fruit pie!!!!!

I agree. It's not something I grew up with ... fruit pies aren't a 'thing' in Eastern Europe.

My mum swore by that recipe and her pie crusts were so light and flaky. I use the same one and you can drive nails with it. I think I over mix it. Yours looks fabulous, though, just like hers. Now I want pie for breakfast..

My first pie crust was SO bad. But I got better. You don't need to do much mixing with this one. Just dampen the flour, put it on a sheet of saran wrap and bring it together into a rectangle using the plastic wrap.. Wrap it up and refrigerate. It will moisten itself as it sits in the fridge. Just a bit of pressure and the heat from your hands and the rolling pin is all you need then. It's not bad for breakfast.

One day I will work up my nerve to give it another try. I tend to just buy the premade one on the rare occasions I make pies.
