No, you don't need to pre-bake the shell for fruit pies.

Oh....thanks. I used to be really good at baking pies, but my skills has gotten a tad rusty. Do i have to pre-bake the bottom pie crust if i want to make blueberry pie?

That's what the egg is for. It hardens when you bake the lower crust with the egg. Before you put the filling you bake the glazed crust. The egg glazes and hardens so the filling doesn't seep through the crust and make it soggy. Of course, you don't always bake the crust beforehand. It depends on the filling.

But isn't the rule supposed to use egg yolk to brush on pie crust so it gives it a nice glaze?

Oh, yeah. Here's the quantities for a single 8-9" pie shell:1 1/4 unbleached all-purpose flour1/2 Tbsp. salt1 Tbsp. granulated sugar6 Tbsp. unsalted butter (1/4" pieces)4 Tbsp. vegetable shortening or oil3-4 Tbsp. ice water

jannell - beat an egg yolk and brush it over the crust before you blind bake it. |
