LEMON BERRY MERINGUE PIE STEP 2A: PIE CRUST MIXING 9 AUGUST 2023
What a lovely pie crust . . .
	Never having "blind-baked" a pie crust - that is, baked it without a filling - I had to buy some pie weights to keep the crust's bottom from puffing up during baking.
[Hand] mixing station . . . Metric measuring of flour . . . . . . adding COLD CUBED UNSALTED butter . . . I started the process with a pastry cutter, but then reverted to using fingers . . . . . . which is what happens when I work with my plants, too. Two-and-a-half tablespoons of ICE WATER later . . . . . . and wrapped up to go into the fridge . . . Technically, I could've gone on to roll out and bake the crust 15 minutes later, but the pie weights have not yet arrived, and we are still working our way through the [NO-BAKE] OREO™ ICEBOX CAKE I made several days ago.
