Top-Only Pie Crust of Overlapping Shapes
By Addie
In the past 24 hours, we've read two articles about this technique—one from Mark Bittman in yesterday's Times and...
- Here are the pros:
- If you have a hard time rolling the pie dough into something resembling a circle, you can breathe easy that the shape doesn't matter here; you're cutting it up anyway.
- No crimping the edges of the crust.
- No pre-baking the crust (if the recipe calls for that) or dealing with pie weights.
- According to Bittman, a top crust develops more browned, crispy edges.
- It looks pretty!
- Method:
- With a 2 1/2- to 3-inch scalloped cutter, stamp out shapes, spacing close together. Leave stamped dough on the baking sheet. Chill if needed before assembling on pie or assemble and chill pie before baking.
