We just got a call "you changed my life" they said, It's all about the pie.
more specifically it's all about the pie crust, and there are a few kinds that it won't work for,
but in general it make pretty good pie. And yes it may even change your life ;) (and it may not).
But here is the super secret recipe for an excellent pie crust. (we'd keep it a secret, but we can't stand all the bad pies out there Ü) (my mom says this is top secret and it's spreading too fast... she almost wouldn't let me post it. So no sharing... but you probably could send them to this here website Ü)
Pie Paste (yep, that's where pastry comes from)
- 3 cups flour
- 2 Tablespoons sugar rounded (healthily)
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- a pinch of salt (just pinch the salt and then what ever stays between your fingers is a pinch)
- 1.5 cups shortening
- 1/2 a cup of milk
It's practically impossible to over work this recipe. You may need a little more flour... you will probably need more flour.
then roll it out with enough flour that it doesn't stick, it shouldn't take much at this point.
mmmm hmmm
pie.
Poke it (with like a fork or something) or weight it to avoid large pockets of air.
Oh yeah bake a single crust pie shell at 375º about 12 minutes, or fill it with fruit and top it with a second crust and then bake it at 350º for 45-50 minutes
I hope your Thanksgiving was as good as mine, if it wasn't, and if the reason was bad pie, well, next year may be better.
ttfn
