I'm supposed to make scalloped edge pies, but I don't know how to do it. When I searched the internet, there are a dozen results. These were the instructions sent to me: Fold and roll pastry under them. Press lightly to make it flat. Using the pointed end of a spoon, cut the crust into scallops.

Can someone tell me in a much easier and understandable way what that last sentence means? Because I do not get it.

It sounds like a language/translation problem.

Find a crust design that you like, and reproduce it in your own kitchen. If it's not perfect the first time, next time you can try again.

I use the "crimped" or "fluted" edge. Push the dough between the forefinger of one hand against the thumb and forefinger of the other hand. Youtube and google.

folding the edge under is called nickling the dough.
The french do it to prevent burning the edge. Don't bother with the spoon.
Heres the old French method.
