I roll my pie pastry out.
I want it to over hang the pie pan by an inch or two.
For a double crust: wet the top edge of the bottom crust.
I dip my fingers in the water and rub them on the crust before adding the top crust.
I trim the pie crust with scissors.
I hold up the overhanging pastry with my left finger tips.
I rest my scissor blade on my middle finger at the first knuckle. That is how I measure the overhang and trim it to the right length.
I push my pointer finger against the edge of the crust.
With the same motion of pushing the edge, I sweep the edge up and fold it under.
This is how it folds:
I go along the pie crust pushing with my left hand pointer finger and cradling the inside of the crust with my right hand pointer and thumb shaped into a chicken beak.
