Weds, Dec 6: Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie

Wednesday, December 6^th, 6pm-8:30pm

In 2023 we’ll be doing pie a whole new way – EVERY MONTH!  Pie is all about practice and repetition and these classes are structured to help you feel more comfortable and confident with a variety of different methods of pie making.  Start your pie journey with us and make your pies the star of every event.  This is a hands-on class in our workshop style.  Each person will make their own 8” pie each month to take home (you may work on a filling together, but everyone will make their own crust).  Cortney will bake each featured pie for the month for us to all taste.

In this series we’ll take a deep dive into core pie techniques like Cookie Crusts, Butter Crust, Lard Crust, Lattice Work, Double Crust, Blind Baking, Crostadas/Galettes and Hand Pies.  Plus we’ll learn how to decorate with streusel, cut outs and stabilized whipped cream.  For fillings we’ll focus on the five main types of pie: Cream, Fruit, Nuts, Custard and No Bake.

For our final month and we’ll be making a holiday classic – Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie.  Learn how to get a perfect set with temperature on this sometimestricky pie. And we’re finishing up strong with our most advanced pie crust – lard!
