Pie Crust & Fruit Pie class offered at Waukon Center

Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) Business and Community Solutions is offering a “Pie Crust & Fruit Pie” class Tuesday, November 2 from 6-8 p.m. at the NICC Waukon Center, 1220 3rd Avenue NW.

Why are so many intimidated by making pie crust from scratch? After all, it’s just simple ingredients baked in the oven until golden and flaky, right? Join the class to learn the steps to mix, roll and bake the perfect, flaky crust every time. Participants will also taste-test crusts made with butter, lard and shortening so they can judge for themselves which they prefer.

Once participants make their pie crust, they will choose a fruit filling to take home and bake in it. Tentative menu includes three homemade pie crusts, fruit of choice, to make a 12-inch fall fruit pie to take home and bake.

The deadline for paid registration is Monday, November 1. To register online, visit www.nicc.edu/solutions/83495 or call the NICC Waukon Center at 844-642-2338, ext. 6700.
