A guy at the state fair pie tent in Iowa changed how I do my crust forever
He watched me rush a lattice and told me to freeze the dough for 15 minutes after rolling, not before. Tried it on a cherry pie Sunday and the edges finally held their shape instead of sagging. Does anyone else chill after rolling instead of before?
That saggy lattice struggle is so real, mine always turns into a blob. Freezing after rolling makes sense since the butter gets cold again right before it hits the oven. Gonna try this on my next pie for sure.
