How to make a lattice for the pie

A lot of people have trouble making the lattice for pie, so I am going to tell you how to make it. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is the weaving pattern on top of the pie.

1) Carefully cut the dough into 3/4 of an inch thick pieces and the length that you need.

2) very the strips with plastic wrap and place it into the fridge and prepare the pie filling

3) When you are ready to weave, moisten the the rim of the pie with very little water. Start with the two largest strips and place them in a X across the pie. Then put the shortest strips at the end of the lattice. Press down the ends of the strips and then cut off any excess dough.

4) Once you are done with this brush the top with egg wash or milk for a brown, shiny crust. Or you could cover it wit cinnamon-sugar for flavor.
