Pie Crust Bakers - A Question

[Christine]

I am making a pie crust this year (new recipe). Can anyone tell me how far ahead I can make it and not change the consistency of the crust? If I make it tonight, should I freeze it, or should I just wait?

I would wait. Pie crust rolls out better when it is chilled, so you could make it the day before and leave the dough in a ball in the fridge overnight (wrap tightly in plastic wrap) and then roll it out the next day.

Thanks.

I was going to try to make it tonight but thought it might be sitting too long--which could affect the texture.
