Gummy Pie Crust

Dec 29, 2005 | From the kitchen of Rose

JERRY QUESTION

Feedback: Why is the bottom piecrust always gummy and the sugar on the top crust won't stick?

ROSE REPLY

for a detailed answer please see the blog entry on crisp bottom crusts located on the blog under november archives.

re sugar sticking to the top crust, you need to brush the dough first with milk or water.

I made the Hoosier sugar cream pie. I followed the instructions to the letter.
It did not set. Why. Perhaps there is not enough flour? Maybe the cream should have been scalded prior? I am just frustrated. Can anyone help here.
Thanks
