Easy as Pie (Wednesday Group)

Intimidated with the thought of making pie crust from scratch? Join us to make your very own pie crust. Beginners welcome! Please bring your own pie plate (I highly recommend glass or ceramic). I will provide flour, vegetable shortening, and as much help as you need. Then you can either take home an empty crust, or if you bring the filling, you are welcome to assemble the pie and bake it while we share conversation.

The agenda that worked well in past years: 1. Demonstration for all to watch, 2. Each participant takes a turn making a crust with help, while the others eat soup that I will have in the crock pot (no need to bring anything to eat, but if you want a glass of wine or something, you're welcome to bring that).

RSVPs have been limited to the number than can finish in one evening. Note there are two dates, which are the exact same event, to accommodate everybody. The focus will be on a traditional flour pie crust. If you want to bring gluten-free flour, you are welcome to do so (but my knowledge is mostly about all-purpose flour, working with the gluten to keep the crust tender yet with enough structure to serve a nice slice of pie).
