Pies | Basics with Babish

To those of you wondering where the savory pies are: fret not, gotta save some stuff for future episodes!

Why some had to be blind baked while some didn't..

For cherry pie, can I just do the blueberry one and replace with canned cherries?

As a fearful pie baker who has watched endless “how to” videos, I just wanted to say you have inspired me to get to it unafraid. You made pie making appear fun rather than a fussy chore. My pie loving family and friends thank you. Me too!

America’s Test Kitchen recommends covering the crust completely while par-baking so it doesn’t over-brown when you bake with the filling in it. They also put part shortening part butter in their crust, kinda interesting.

Sooooo, is no one going to talk about the lack of pumpkin filling measurements in the video or the recipe?? It says “one can.” Ok, but what size can?? 15oz? 30oz????

If you don’t have a grating attachment can you just use a regular grater??

Hey babish my pie was very sticky did I use too much water?

microwave the juice that comes out of the apples while you work will turn it to caramel. pour the apples in your pie and then the caramel and it will be less wet. :) delicious.

Did you overcook your pumpkin pie or did you let it cool too fast?

Could you have found a smaller whisk?

Tfw your boyfriend confuses flour with cornstarch and you don't know why your crust isn't working out

I don’t negotiate with pies

What's the temperature in actual units? (°C)

Perfect

Did you use defense gloves for the cutting part so as not to hurt yourself?? LOL.

I put 8 teaspoons of water and dough got all sticky

Circumference may look like it's pronounced in four syllables, but I assert that it isn't.

That pie will be too wet without cooking down and thickening the liquid first

Very bad recepies. 5 hours of my work wasted. Turned out awful.

pies means dog in my language and i got worried for a second

Fun fact: "Pies" means "dog" in polish

3 in one, nice!

The amount of dough is way to little. I had to made about 3 times as much for just one pie.

There is no way you added "16 tablespoons of water" 😭😭😭
You either meant *teaspoons, or are tryna sabotage us 🤣🤣🤣

i tried your recipe the pie is basically just flour, butter and salt. It tastes odd, , my family doesnt like it, I think next time I'll add sugar ...

Coconut Cream Pie from iCarly

this video is rad, i am using it to bake a blueberry pie as i type this lol, my only thing is that i don’t have a food processor or a pie-stone 😅 my only wish is that alternatives were at least mentioned for both of these. i suppose i could have just googled it tho lol

I was thinking of commenting that I always appreciated the aesthetic of pies that have strips of crust in a grid pattern over the top rather than a solid piece covering them, but he ended up showing one of those too.

Of course, aesthetics aren't the really important thing when it comes to pies.

" i personally added 16 tbsp of iced water.. " uhh i think thats a typo.. thats alot of water to " add " to flour.. For 2 cup flour, i would say start off with 2 tbsp, and add a teaspoon at a time until its hydrated and forms a clump when pressed in your palm. But before you add water.. make sure the butter is worked well into the flour. Run the flour and butter mixture thru your finger tips smearing it until it resembles coarse yellow corn meal, and the flour will have a light yellow appearance when its ready for water. Also, it may be easier to cut the double pie crust recipe into two balls before you chill it.. bring it into one lump weigh it up and divide roughly 55/45 or 60/40%

I pronounce this batch…


















Babish

What’s the song name I need this instrumental

What’s the song??

I seriously feel like USA are missing out on savoury pies that are common in UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
The steak and cheese pie is incredible.

WWWWAAAAYYYY too much work to prevent a soggy bottom. Also, you don't get to do all the fun crimping art! Just put some rolled oats in the bottom before the apples to prevent the soggy bottom.

You should watch Wong Kar-wai's "My Blueberry Nights" while eating a blueberry pie and ice cream.

Or some chocolate pie

I really hate it when someone talks about basics and right after that uses a niche machine or ingredient.

One hand is enough

I really need to stop watching Babish videos while hungry.

🥧Happy Pie Day! 🍰 what a fantastic recipe for a day like this! Thank you so very nice of you to share your talent in the kitchen. Your channel inspires me to learn and grow as a fellow cooking creator! I’d love to continue to learn from one another. 🥧🍰

The way that blueberry pie held its shape is a thing of beauty. Is that due to the corn starch? Any other tricks for that? I've seen so many berry pies fall apart and not hold shape properly.

This is the only recipe that has enough apples.

Oh shucks I was doing great til you said I need a pie stone preheated for all these lol

How much butter is a “stick”…??

I hate biting into giant apple chunks and always wanted to try and make an apple pie with lots of mini apple cubes in it
