I wish there was a VIDEO of this technique. I'm not a baker, for sure, but I can follow directions. I made the single crust for pumpkin pie and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. I cannot get the crust to stay together and making that 'disc' of dough was nearly out of the question. I ended up cooling in the fridge for the 10-15 min wrapped up in parchment just to keep it together. I am going to try plastic on both sides for rolling as it just couldn't hold together enough to not stick to the parchment too much. The first one kinda worked and I admit it is DELISH. I just wish I could see this working in a VIDEO instead of stills. I'm continuing to try. Many of them have just fallen apart when I get them in the pie plate and I do a patch job there before blind-baking. Another one--most of the crust rim fell off when I took it out of the oven and touched the crust a bit with the hot pad. Sigh.
