Terms to Know/Remember!
• Blind crust – Baking the pie crust before you add the filling.
• There are two times when blind baking is necessary:
• When making a custard pie or when the pie filling is unbaked
• With a custard pie, like pumpkin pie, the moisture in the filling can make the crust soggy before it has time to actually bake (thus, you half-bake so that it stays firm)
