mealy-potato pie dough

9/24/2020

Comments

 
Mealy pie dough is best for using for pies that have a liquid or custard filling like pumpkin or lemon meringue pie because it resists getting soggy. The pieces of fat in the flour are very tiny, which in turn makes the the fat distribution denser which repels liquids.

The pie crust bakes up very crisp so you do not get that yucky soggy layer under your filling. I am not a pie person, solely because I do not find many pie crusts pleasing. Often they are too dry but nothing it more repelling than biting into some pumpkin pie and the bottom is all gummy! Disgusting it is like biting into soggy paper towels.

how to use mealy pie dough

Mealy pie dough is also the perfect pie dough for hand pies because it is very sturdy and easy to work with but still very tender and crisp when you eat it. 

You can use flaky pie dough for a bottom crust but flaky is suited for pies that have cooked fillings like mousse, no-bake cream pies, or pies with pre-cooked fillings to avoid that soggy bottom crust.
