Thankfully, Food52's Test Kitchen Manager Erin McDowell — alongside photographer Sarah Stone, who both blog at The Shutter Oven — is here, with tips and tricks to help you master the most essential desserts and the simplest breads. Today: You don’t need to fear pie crust any longer. Erin — Food52’s resident pie expert — is here to help.
