Blind Bake Pie Crust

Hi Everyone, during the holidays or anytime you are making a custard pie (for example, pumpkin pie) or with a no-bake pie (for example, a pudding pie).

Blind Bake Pie Crust Question & Answer

Docking vs. Pie Weights - what method should I use?

Personally, I do both, however, technically you should be able to do either docking (pricking the bottom in several places with a fork to allow steam to escape) or pie weights (for example, dried beans or ceramic weights).

Ingredients

• 1 recipe single pie crust, food processor pie crust, or double pie crust (for example, in our Incredible Homemade Apple Pie recipe)
