Kerak Pie Kisi

Instructions

1. Roll out the bottom portion of your pie crust and place it into your pie pan, trim the dough to fit the edges of your pan.
2. Fill your crust lined pie dish with your filling and set aside
3. Roll out the top portion of your dough until the circle is slightly larger than your pie pan.
4. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut your top crust into strips. You can make these strips as thick or thin as you want.
5. Take your cut out strips and lay them across the top of the filled pie, all laying the same way leaving a gap between each one. For this step you can use up to half of your strips to cover the pie in one direction, amounts will vary depending on how thick your strips are, and how large of a gap you want.
6. Next, you will take the strips you've laid down on your pie and working with every other one, fold them back to the edge of the pie. Lay your first strip of dough down on top of the strips that haven't been pulled back and then place the other strips back where they were. So half of the strips should be covered by the new one laying crossways, and half of them should be on top of it.
7. Working with the strips you previously left laying down, peel them back just far enough to lay the next crossways strip down, and once again lay the strips flat.
8. Continue the previous two instructions until your pie is fully latticed.
9. Trim all the excess dough off the edge of the pan and press the dough slightly around the rim to secure.
