Okay, I'm making a pie for a friend, and I found this snazzy pecan pie recipe... The problem is, there's two things I couldn't understand on the recipe.
1. What's a baking bean?
2. I've tried making the pie crust... But somehow it's always dry, my mom told me that's expected. Well, my mom couldn't see it for herself as we live in a different place, but this dryness seems hellish. Dry, brittle and although smells nice, it cracks too easy. The crust ingredient listed on the recipe are simply just butter and flour, am I missing something here? My mom hinted my to reduce the heat and add some water, but will adding water have an adverse effect? I couldn't reach here anymore as she's with my dad on a trip to Mongolia.
I like this baking stuff, it's fun
