I added oil to it so it would knead enough to work with, put it directly in the pie pan & smooshed it out with my knuckles! Who knows, this one may be a winner!
one of mine did that . I now measure my boiling water after it comes to a boil. some of the measurement is lost if you measure it out then bring it to a boil. Just add a few drops of water next time.
