16 Steps to Get Crusts in Pan

Step Two, Dust Hands

At this point we assume you have mixed your dough for the crusts and now need to get it into or on the pie tins. I then I dust my hands with flour from the sifter. It puts down a fine even layer of flour and works just fine for that purpose. Using my dusted hands I then gather up the ball of dough and press it into a tight ball. Then use the ball to clean up any dough that remains in the bowl. Don't knead it more than needed, just enough to get it into a tight congealed ball.
