"Easy as Pie" is a lie

gemfyreRolling pastry sucks. I can never get a neat edge, and the piece is never big enough or something.
Also, it seems my pan is marginally larger than the one used for most of the recipes in the main baking book I use. My pastry didn't reach the top of my tin, that was possibly due to my rolling ineptitude. But it didn't matter, because the filling only filled half the tin so the top layer of pastry went halfway down the tin and I had loads of excess pastry around the edge and couldn't neatly put it together - so I made a kinda pastry crown.
I also forgot to glaze it. But the pastry seems to have cooked well and have held, and the pie looks edible, if a little messy.
Tomorrow I make muffins. The saying should be "Easy as Muffins", because they are.
