A new year, new goals and pie. Does it feel like something doesn’t quite go? If you have ever made a pie, you would know that there is not much that is easy about baking. But even the most novice baker will tell you that the success of a pie depends on one critical factor: the ingredients. If your pie does not turn out, it always comes back to how cold your butter was, how fresh your blueberries were, etc. The quality of the ingredients will make or break your pie.
