Master bakers do not end up with pie dough all over the floor.

Everyone has a bad day once in a while, even master bakers.

Anyone with a cat can end up with pie dough on the floor.

Pretty sure they do.

However, I'm also pretty sure master bakers don't post about their mistakes online. ;)

Ok, that made me laugh.

We'll see if this damn pie came out. What's the worst it can be, really? Almost anything is edible if you put enough whipped cream on it, surely? (I'm pretty sure the damn thing has exactly zero structural integrity. In between the pie dough being rather worse behaved that even usual, and I'm pretty sure I got the proportions wrong for the blueberry mix, all in all, I think I should have made a crumble.

But, whipped cream.

Fruit pie is very resilient, as a rule. Not in the bad way but in the way that baking it will generally set it up all right.

I would probably say that master bakers don't end up with pie crust all over the floor ANY MORE, but they sure did at some point.

P.

Of course they do

Why else have apprentices around?

Well, it all came out just fine. It actually baked up, held together, the filling wasn't a soupy mess, and it tasted fine. I forgot both the lemon juice and the butter. Oh, well. I don't like lemon in sweets, anyway. I did add some Creme de Cassis, which I think definitely enhanced the flavor. All happy, now.
