Pie Crust

Have you ever rolled out a pie dough top that was uneven and too small? Here is a simple solution to this problem. I take a piece of parchment paper and trace the large lip of the pie pan with a marker. Then I measure two inches from the outside of that circle and roughly draw another circle around it, flip the parchment paper over, dust it with flour, and roll out the dough. The larger circle is a good guide for the size and shape I should aim for when rolling out the dough.
