Why You Should Rest Pie Dough
I think this is excellent. Thanks Chowhound for sharing! There is nothing like having the best pie crust or pie for that matter. Flaky is absolutely the greatest!
I also recommend buying a pie bag. After the dough has rested in the frig for half an hour, you put it in the pie bag (that you have previously added flour to). The you use your rolling pin on top of the bag to roll out the dough into a perfect circle. When you're done you unzip the bag, put your pie pan on top and just flip over. It works out perfectly everytime.
