This would be amazing with cream of poblano soup. Yummy! Best of luck with the recipe, though I think wearing pajamas should eliminate any issues you might have. Hope you and your wife enjoy! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Thanks! We enjoyed it. :)

Refrigerating the finished dough ball before rolling out the crust has helped improve the crust for me.

As I continue to try to improve my pie crust I have altered this recipe slightly. I use half shortening and half butter instead of only shortening.

I've started rolling out the dough on parchment paper and using that to transfer the crust. It works much better for me than trying to roll the dough around the pin.

A friend suggested this after reading this instructable: Place a dish towel over the steam valve before you release it to catch the mess. Good luck!

Thank you!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope your grandchild loves it! I feel like this is a different take on a "busy book" or "busy board" that I've seen in various places. My little one prefers the pulling out and putting back in over lifting flaps, etc, so this works better for us. And yes, he's Johnie. ;)

I was feeling sad that these weren't gluten free yesterday.
