The Farmstead Workshops: Kitchen Edition Pie Crusts

from $35.00

The Farmstead Workshops: Kitchen Edition | Pie Crusts | Tuesday February 3 | 7PM

Discover the art of a tender, flaky, all-butter pie crust in this one-hour, live virtual demonstration. This workshop introduces practical techniques for making pie dough from scratch, handling it with confidence, and creating consistent results in an everyday kitchen.

Designed as an introduction and refresher, this session offers clarity and confidence without overwhelm.

What We’ll Demonstrate

During the live session, you’ll see an all-butter pie crust made start to finish.

We’ll also cover:

  • Blind baking and tips for avoiding shrinkage or soggy bottoms

  • Adjustments for different fats and flours

  • Practical tricks to make pie crust easier and more reliable

This demonstration focuses on process, rhythm, and decision-making, rather than strict recipes or precision replication.

Workshop Format

  • This is a demonstration-focused virtual workshop.

  • You are welcome to follow along and make your own crust during class, though the session is structured primarily for observation, learning, and shared discussion.

  • All workshops are recorded.

  • A 1–2 page PDF with ratios, techniques, and reference notes will be emailed to registered participants within 24 hours of registration.

  • Questions are welcomed throughout, with the understanding that time and depth are shared across the group. For more personalized guidance, 1:1 sessions are available separately.

Workshop Schedule

The Farmstead Workshops are organized by focus and day:
– Kitchen Edition workshops are held on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM (ET)
– Home + Garden Edition workshops are held on Thursdays at 7:00 PM (ET)

All workshops are one-hour, live virtual demonstrations.

Who This Workshop Is For

This workshop is well suited to:

  • Beginners curious about pie-making

  • Home cooks seeking a thoughtful refresher

  • Those interested in seasonal, practical kitchen skills

If you’re seeking advanced pastry science, troubleshooting for specialty doughs, or ongoing mentorship, a private session may be a better fit.

Materials

A short materials list, including any recipes used, will be provided in advance. Participants are encouraged to work with what they already have and adapt as needed.
