A good season.

What happened to the thread?

I baked a new sourdough bread recipe this weekend. I need to add more salt and work getting the baneton proofing baskets floured better! The bread was nice and airy but needed more flavor.

I also baked a lemon meringue pie and used a new pie dough recipe.

Personally, I wouldn't use that pie crust recipe. It has too many odd measurements - who uses 9 tablespoons of butter? One stick and be done.
I like the pie crust recipe from the cookbook i got when I moved into my first apartment - Betty Crocker has never let me down.

It worked out very well for me. My other double crust recipes use about that amount of butter.

What I did was put one cube into the first part and then the half a cube into the freezer for the second part (add all the butter at once).

Making this without the food processor would not require the frozen butter part and should work just as well.

This is a food processor recipe and many like to use them for pie dough. It is similar to those that use a bread machine. I do see it as a benefit for those with arthritis or other issues with their hands

Pie dough seems to be one of those recipes that everyone does differently. I like one that uses 1/2 butter & 1/2 shortening, ice cold water (no vinegar).

I've heard of people using vodka too. But that's something I rarely have on hand. Water is always available!
