This explains a little about my pie making adventures. Lately I've been busting out pies, right and left, in search of the best crust. Apple, triple berry, strawberry, blueberry, peach, key lime, and french silk.
No, I have not been eating all my pies, as I vow to not put on my winter weight this season. Sometimes though, I haven't been able to resist and now feel like I have one berry and one peach pie protruding from my backside. So much for no winter weight and it's not even winter! Alas, another pie might suffice. What a vicious cycle. Good thing I detest pumpkin pie!
I'm getting ready for Thanksgiving and planning to make a few pumpkin pies straight from our garden grown pumpkins. Wish me luck. It's going to take cutting, scraping, baking, softening flavoring and so one, but hey, at least I know my crust will be awesome! If the filling doesn't turn out, we can at least sit around and eat some tasty crust.
Give this recipe a try and you will not be disappointed. Then, let me know if you like it, or what you changed.
P.S. it is not as good with butter, but a slightly healthier option.
I look forward to making pies at Thanksgiving - it is one of my specialties except I am not as good as you - I like to eat mine and then I have to exercise...ugh!
ReplyDeleteGood luck - sounds like you are having fun.
