Ooh thank you! These look great!
I take it back - I will attempt pie!
Dude, you should definitely
.
Ready made pastry is one of the best things that modernity has given us, but it is relatively expensive, and home-made is easy enough to make yourself.
Half as much fat as flour - there it is - it now doesn't matter what units you use. Add some salt if it's for savoury, more (quite a lot more) sugar if it's for sweet.
Careful, however, with the water, that's where it gets you - chill it if you can (the water that is, believe me, it helps), and always remember it's never completely f**ked - if it's dry put a bit more water in, if it's a bit sticky add a bit more flour... you will need generally less water than you originally think. Always work in fractions of teaspoons.
Once you have your ball of dough, wrap it in cling film and chill it for at least half an hour, but remember to take it out of the fridge for at least an half an hour before rolling it out.
I can't help you with rolling, that's just where the Force must guide you, and practice will lead to the perfection you seek.
It is worth the effort, because there isn't much in life that is better than a good pie.
