Making Hand Pies With Amanda Mack Of Crust By Mack
Hosted by Jessie Sheehan Produced by Kerry Diamond and Catherine Baker Edited by Jenna Sadhu Recorded at CityVox Studios Amanda Mack is Baltimore’s queen of the hand pie. A self-taught baker, or grandmother-taught, as she likes to say, Amanda has perfected her recipe for these delightful packets of crust and filling over the years. Customers of her bakery business, Crust by Mack, have come to love her sweet and savory hand pies, from cranberry to spinach & cheese to crabmeat. Amanda takes host Jessie Sheehan through the steps for making her signature hand pies, and covers everything from making your own buttermilk to moisturizing your dough, using vanilla bean paste, and stirring up a slurry. Our fave fact? Amanda uses her grandmother’s rolling pin. Whatever you do, says Amanda, do not compromise the integrity of your crust!
