As an adult with autism baking has always been a weakness of mine due to my difficulty of understanding verbal descriptions. In so many cases of baking it comes down to the texture needed for a proper outcome. You not only verbally explian but you physically show how it should and should not look which helps me immensely. Ive made your yesterday and my own autistic daughter who's extremely picky loves them, we also love your cinnamon. Now I'm going to be making your chicken pot pie for Christmas and using your pie crust recipe which is something I have not attempted before. My mommy was the baker in out family she passed away on the 5th and this will be my first Christmas without her. I needed a way to prosses my grief your baking is helping me greatly. Thank you.

Seriously one of the best instructions for making pie crust! I’m 50 and have been baking pies for decades and always doing a very average to poor job. I’ve never had these steps explained!! Thank you! I made a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving today and it worked!

[tamerabass]

I've never made a pie crust. Watched your pie crust video. Was so happy my pumpkin pie was a hit everyone Said it was a perfect crust. THANK I'm not a baker. I am so happy

I am 77 years old and have always wanted to make a better pie crust and you have provided it. Thanks for sharing. I have been subscribed to your channel for about a year or so.

I recently had a two pie crusts fail so catastrophically that I questioned ever making one from scratch again.... Your video comes as a reminder that I love scratch-baked pie crust, could never quit it, and need to start practicing so I don't have meltdowns on Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. Wish me luck 😃 🤞🤞🤞

Pro tip:
If you don't have a food processor, use a cheese grater to grate the butter in! Perfect little pieces of butter throughout.

Just made this crust by hand and it came out amazingly! So much easier to work with and it’s forgiving. Had left over scraps that I made into a mini pie with a mini pie tin I had. Going to be using this for the rest of my life lol

[sherryw-ponyluv-er]

I’m a pretty “qualified” baker but I have never been totally happy with my pie crust. This is an amazing Thank you.

[savedbygrace]

You are a great teacher! I love how you explain “the why” and your methods have yielded great results for me. Your sourdough technique helped me immensely. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

First, I've baked Wedding Cakes without a second thought. A simple pie shell and my heels are dug into the sand, in fear 😂 I buy it only! This year I made your recipe. First bite of the pie, my husband said Did you make this! Did you make this? I replied yes. Sorry if it's bad, you know I dont do pie shells. He replied "dont throw this recipe away ever! This is amazing. This is the best crust I've ever had." With all that being said. Thank you. I couldn't have done it without your awesome instructions.

I don't have any pie weights and I was out of dried beans, so I went outside and gathered a few medium sized rocks, washed them off in boiling water, dried them, and they worked great! My pie crust turned out delicious. I can't believe I actually made a pie crust!

[Hot.Rod]

OmG! Not all heroes wear capes. Your video is so comprehensive & not convoluted. Thank you so much for sharing.

Now I understand why store-bought pie crust is so popular. I'm an old man I might not live long enough to go through all of this process.

[joeyhumphrey]

I have made this recipe a couple of times and all of them turned out AMAZING my family says it is a LOT better than store bought! I will continue to make this recipe every time I make a Thanks for all the amazing recipes!! Keep up the hard work!!!

[allyblondie]

Literally purchased a food processor cause every pie dough recipe calls for it and now that I finally caved and bought one you show how to do it by hand in your video which no one ever does!! Thank you so much for this!! And thank your for your other recipes like the Brioche and your dinner rolls that I currently have rising! ❤❤️❤️

[ginalucas]

Every Thanksgiving I’m piecing together cracked pie dough and was dreading that process! No cracks with this recipe for the first time! Also the pie mat roll into the rolling pin into the pie plate was a game changer!!! Thank you John!

I deeply appreciate the dedication to showing hand done steps just as well.
