Notes

  • Using a baking tray under your pie dish helps keep your oven clean.
  • Cook onions until translucent for well-blended flavors.
  • Ensure thorough mixing of flour with butter for a lump-free sauce.
  • Whisk liquids constantly for a smooth filling.
  • Cooling the filling before adding to crust improves texture.
  • Brushing bottom crust with egg wash prevents sogginess.
  • Crimping edges seals the pie and adds a rustic look.
  • Allowing the pie to rest enhances flavor and texture.
