Personal Notes:
To bake pie shell, prick the shell with a fork and freeze for 1/2 hour and bake at 385 degrees for 10--15 min. should have a hint of brown. Metal pie tins make a nicer crust than glass or ceramic. To make a pie with top, always have the pie crust COLD. I always put my rolled crust in the frig or freezer before I bake it.
