Who said promises are like pie crust made to be broken?
The most famous use of this saying is, of course, the poem by Christina Rossetti; but the first reference to it occurs in 1681: He makes no more of breaking Acts of Parliaments, than if they were like Promises and Pie-crust made to be broken.
1681 Heraclitus Ridens It would seem, therefore, to have been already an old or proverbial saying.
Why doesn't sweet dough produce a flaky crust?
Because of its composition. Flaky crust uses steam (created from the fats used) for rising and texture, where doughs use yeast for rise, and less fat.
What can be used to glaze a pie crust?

Can i leave pie crust out in room temperature out for more than one hour?
Scientists at CERN are currently trying to solve this very problem. In thousands of years of human evolution, no one has yet been able to leave a pie crust out in room temperature for more than one hour. It is a truly amazing, inexplicable (so far) phenomenon.
If you do manage to do it, contact your nearest scientist immediately for your Nobel Prize.

After cooling, it will not be as crisp as the cracker was at the start, but it should be fairly solid.
How can you make a pie crust without butter?
Hi-- I thought I remembered having a recipe made with GrapeNuts cereal for Fat-free Apple Pie. I couldn't find mine, but I did a search for you & found this: 2 cups Grape Nuts
1/2 cup apple juice concentrate
mix together and press into the pie pan. Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees and
cool if you'll add a cool filling. For pumpkin pie, I just add the filling
and bake it all at once.
I run the Grape Nuts through the food processor first, and I find a half
recipe is sufficient if you don't need the crust to go too far up the side
of the pan.
kwvegan vegan If you want to make it healthier, I'd suggest not using the concentrate & juice 1 or 2 small organic apples. I recall that the one I had put the Grapenuts on top of the crust, like a crumble topping. I just stumbled upon your question while surfing for something else, so I hope this helped! --SueBee :-)B
Should you defrost butter tart pie crust before baking?
If you like it soft, then don't, if you like it hard, then do.
What is the easiest way to transfer pie crust to pie pan?
I have found this the most successful. Place a sheet of cling wrap on the counter, put your disc shaped round of pie crust on it, and cover with another sheet of plastic wrap. You will be able to roll your crust sooo thin and even. When you're done rolling jiggle the lower sheet of plastic wrap gently to unstick the crust from the counter without distorting it. Then you will be able to gather the outer edges of plastic wrap and crust and lay it over the pie plate. Be sure to ease the sides down in towards the middle to your crust won't rip. Tip the wrap/crust half way from left to right over your right hand (like a big taco shell). While holding the dough with your right hand gently remove the wrap from the bottom of the LH side of crust. When you've loosened the wrap, lower it to the bottom of the pie plate and push it gently towards the middle (lifting a little with your right hand to give some space for the wrap. Lay the crust that's on top of your right hand back over to the left side of the plate, again, easing the sides so the dough doesn't rip. To remove the plastic from the other side fold the dough from R to L and gently loosen the wrap. As you remove the wrap from what will be the RH side of the dough jiggle out the remainder of the plastic and continue to ease your crust into the plate.
OR if that is too complicated (even though it does guarantee perfect results) after rolling pull of the top sheet of wrap and loosen the bottom layer with the crust on it from the counter. Invert your pie pan over the crust, slide your hand under the plastic beneath the crust and just give it a flip. If it tears, just ease it back in to place and use a moistened finger to "melt" the tear away.
Good luck.
