Erin. I have no formal training. I’m a 54-year-old father who has always enjoyed cooking. I use a lot of ideas from KZfaq. My family is amazed at my pies. Especially of course… The crust. Because I use butter and I utilize your techniques. It’s kind of cool being a guy that makes better pie than all the other women. LOL. I just wanted to thank you. You’re an incredible baker. You also enjoy what you do and I can tell that. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Thank you for allowing my family to enjoy some of the best pumpkin pies around. Of course… I was asked, Scott, would you please bake a few pies for us? The answer is of course. Thanks Erin

Learned it as a child from the 1948 Betty Crocker Cookbook (edition before that became a 'cookbook' about using Betty Crocker pre-made foods - real baking). Betty Crocker also taught me about 'slip-slide custard pie.' Bake the crus in one tin, completely baked. Bake the custard separately in a well-buttered pie tin that's exactly the same size as the crust tin. When you're ready to serve, just jiggle the custard (may have to warm the bottom if the butter has had a chance to get hard), so that it moves back and forth in the butter. Then slide it into the crispy, fully-cooked crust, wiggle it to settle it in the crust and serve immediately. Any weeping has already happened in the custard tin, not in your crust.

I literally clicked on this video to learn about how to make custard pie. Had no idea pecan pie ( a pie I make frequently) is considered a custard pie. So this whole time, I was intimidated by custard pie - only to find I've been making one for years. I've also learned that my Dad's soggy sweet potato pie can be improved by just pre (par) baking the crust. What a great video. Thank you!! I'm going to check out the other pie videos.

She said, "get you in the best pie-shape you've ever been." Then, custard pies are "some of the most misunderstood." Later, "Team Pie. That's me. And I'm the quarterback." So supportive. So understanding. Indeed, if you are the pie in this equation, put a ring on it.

It does have eggs & a blend of sugars. That's it.

After trying several recipes for German Chocolate pie, (my favorite from Marie Calendar’s) I realized that I could simply use my Mom’s recipe for chocolate pie and add in the other two main ingredients and low and behold it worked! When I visited relatives out of town I took a German Chocolate and a Butterscotch, the German chocolate was gone in a flash, butterscotch not so much, next trip I just baked two GC’s. One other thing, my Mother never tempered the eggs, she put the eggs in with the dry ingredients, and slowly heated the mixture and there were no scrambled eggs, and that’s how I make my cream pies as well. 🤗 So glad I ran across this channel!

For the first time in my life, I made a perfect pumpkin pie! I've been trying to make pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving for forty years and this is the first time it's come out creamy and smooth with a crispy crust. Why don't cookbooks tell you things like mix in the eggs last and that par baking the crust is mandatory? It was also super helpful to see what the pie should look like when it was taken out of the oven. I never would have trusted my pie was done if I hadn't seen it on this video. I'm so grateful! Can you make a Christmas pudding? That's another thing I've been trying, and failing, to make for almost five decades. A video from Bake It Up a Notch would be really helpful.

wowwee yumby delish! OOHHH! those look so good! My wife and I grow dates for a living and I have always wanted to do more with dates and make pies! I dream of D'apple pie, apple with slivers of dates and also dates worked into the filling to sweeten the filling. Pumpkin pie made sweet with Amir Hajj dates (they naturally have a hint of yams and all spice like pumpkin pie). Peach pie with Dayri date to sweeten the filling (they have a complex flavor with hints of cherry / plum) Pie crust made with dates and nut pieces. Especially pistachio with Abada dates. or almond with Barhi dates. Or almond Medjool. Or Oat flower with Barhi crust. or Wheat bran with Deglet Noor or Halawi crust. and one with pecan. ..... ok, I'm getting way to carried away. I'm inspired. but ... How do I work those ingredients together? How do I do it? I will send you ALL the dates you want if you will help us figure out how to make a great date pie gr8 d8 Oh, and a date syrup pecan pie!!!!! oh my. Cheese cake with a date-gramcracker-ish crust and a perfect soft Barhi crowning every slice. ..... Help!
