Chocolate Cream Pie and a Video Tutorial on How to Make Pie Crust

Wednesday, November 20 You guys! I was in a movie. Well not really a movie, more of a short video. And it wasn't anything fancy. I plopped my DSLR on a tripod and recorded myself. Quickly losing the glamor isn't it?

I have had many many many fans email or comment saying they are afraid of tackling pie crust on their own. I've written many blog posts about how simple it is, and with a little practice, hand made pie crust is the best! To show them how simple it truly is, I made a video. In 10 minutes, I whip up a double pie crust. A double pie crust can either make one double crusted fruit pie or perhaps two custard or cream pies. Now this video is a hot mess. Not only do I say SO.... and UMMMM 89419823759812749587 times. My dog interrupts us a couple of times. Then bumps the camera while I am talking and cuts me out of the picture. I was going to edit the video and cut it down a tad, but then I figured... leave it be. People can see what real life is like. And for the record this 10 minute video took about an hour to shoot. I want to thank my son Chase for having so much patience and for all the help!

So here it is.... a little homemade video on how to make homemade pie crust. Chocolate Cream Pie
