"Easy as Pie" is a lie

[gemfyre]

Rolling 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.

Yeah, muffins are totally easy. I made some banana and walnut muffins tonight while I was making dinner. They are so easy! Pie's are awfully hard. As I don't eat wheat I'm looking to make a sort of spinach pie without pastry. I think the pastry is the hardest bit, so hopefully it will be easy.

I've double booked myself tomorrow night, Susie and Matt are also having their housewarming, so me and Adam will drop in to your party for a bit and then go off to theirs. I should be at yours by 7pm. See you tomorrow!
