The Year of the Pie is upon us and there is more than one way to celebrate the trendiest dessert of 2011. Whether you are a seasoned pie pro or a novice baker, the pros at the Crisco® Pie Hotline are serving up pie making advice and tips on the latest pie making trends for harried holiday bakers.
Whether struggling with weepy meringues or caved-in crusts, when it comes to pies, most bakers would appreciate a little expert advice. According to the 2010 Crisco National Pie Survey:
• 59 percent of surveyed Americans said pie is the hardest dessert to prepare from scratch, followed distantly by cake (22%) and brownies (6%).
• 65% of surveyed Americans agreed that making crust is the hardest part of baking a pie from scratch.
Now in its sixth year, the Crisco Pie Hotline continues to be a one-stop resource to help ease the stress of baking for thousands of bakers each year. During the busy holiday baking season, the hotline offers extended hours from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET during November 14-23, 2011 and December 12-22, 2011. Home bakers can also dial in for tips and tricks from award-winning pie expert and author of Perfect Pies, Michele (Albano) Stuart.
Also available for the holidays on Crisco.com is Cookie Central, a new online resource offering recipes, instructional videos and a helpful butter-to-shortening conversion chart to take the guesswork out of baking.
