Prepare the Dough
Weave the Lattice
Flouring Your Work Area: Resist the urge to over-flour your working surface. Flour just enough to keep the dough from sticking to your rolling pin and working surface. Too much flour will keep the dough from sealing to itself on the edges of the crust.Types of Pies for Lattice: This technique is really only for a pie that requires a top crust. I wouldn’t recommend it for a pumpkin or pudding pie. Some ideas for the filling of this pie crust are this strawberry rhubarb pie, this triple berry pie, or this super yummy blueberry lattice pie. Using the Shorter Strips: When placing the strips of dough on the pie I like to use the sizes that will align with the pie dish. For example, the shorter strips from the edges of the dough should be placed on the edges of the pie. The longer strips in the middle should be placed at the widest part of the pie.
In the Refrigerator: Most pies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make sure to follow the instructions on your pie filling recipe for the best result. If you are storing raw pie crust, then follow the storage instructions on the pie crust recipe.
