      Years ago I learned of a technique from Chef Michael Smith who grates frozen butter sticks on the large holes of a box grater. The pieces are brittle, easily breaking into even smaller bits, which then distribute much better throughout the flour.

  • @KIG024
    @KIG024 Před 18 dny

    I prefer tart cherries or alternatively add lemon juice to the sweet ones so the filling is not cloyingly sweet. And in addition to mashing some of the fruit I add about a half cup of dried cherries (sometimes soaked in a combination of kir, sometimes a bit of water and a few drops of almond extract) which gives the fruit a thicker texture without adding cornstarch.

  • @WastrelWay
    @WastrelWay Před 21 dnem +2

    The recipe is great, and obviously tasty and attractive. A tablespoon or so of brandy into the filling wouldn't hurt anything. You could add a little allspice or cloves (there are other spice options), too. Using a plastic bag, NO WAY! That is completely unnecessary and merely creates trash to throw away. Even using a food processor to make pie crust is better than that, but you have to clean it. Do it in the bowl, since you are going to have to wash the bowl anyway. You do have a pastry cutter, don't you? I don't understand these "shortcuts" or "hacks" or whatever you want to call them. Edit: Instead of a mere ruler, I use a carpenter's combination square to make sure I've got right angles.

      When asked in the comments on one of her hand pie recipes about why she chose to use the bag over other methods, Lan responded:
      "I happen to dislike grating frozen butter and find I get just great flakiness using this technique. As for the food processor methods, again, it's a matter of preference. I find that it's easy to over- or under-process the butter. When you're rolling out the dough by hand, it's easy to spot large pieces of butter that need to be flattened a little more."
