You seem like you can do it all! I too use the Martha pate brisee. I've tried two of hers. One has cornmeal and it's great for savory tarts or galettes.

There are two things I've never been successful with in the kitchen and those are pie crust and biscuits. Bread - yes! Pizza crust - yes! Dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls...yes! But pie crusts and biscuits are my nemesis. <br /><br />It's time for me to conquer this challenge as well.
