Yuck. Let me know when you are free this week and I'll show you a failproof recipe and we'll make lady fingers together.

I think it's because baking is like science, and if you follow the recipe faithfully you're golden. Cooking dinner requires more creativity and apparently I lack that.<br /><br />Anyway, hopefully soon we'll move out west, and then I'd love to show you how I make pie crust. It's super easy and it works for me every time. And if I walk you through it and it still doesn't work for you, well, then, at least we've made one pie and then we can eat it!dnatheoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879036736723633026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23330523.post-70398150450532197022012-05-06T20:26:56.989-07:002012-05-06T20:26:56.989-07:00We can make pie crusts some time.

You'll have to trust me - although to be honest, there's a couple of tools I'm missing right now that I've used in the past that make it ridiculously easy.<br /><br />For empanadas, though, I would think that refrigerated dough would totally be the trick. I saw a recipe for those one time with bananas and black beans that sounded fantastic.A Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01439760949611535022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23330523.post-25082361389526977272012-05-02T23:01:34.997-07:002012-05-02T23:01:34.997-07:00I understand this completely.

It can be done! But recipes are only half the equation. You need to understand the feel of the dough and how to handle it.

I like the pillsbury refrigerated crusts, but now I can't eat pie crust at all unless I find a gluten free kind.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629132084441191734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23330523.post-66716503614646269922012-05-02T18:45:38.042-07:002012-05-02T18:45:38.042-07:00I love baking and have a pretty high success rate ...I love baking and have a pretty high success rate but pie crust success eludes me as well.A.J.
