Vanilla or Chocolate Cupcakes?

Have you ever noticed there are the vanilla people and the chocolate people.  I wonder if that says anything about a person's personality.  Any suggestions?

Perfect Pie Dough is easy

We wanted to thank you for all your support.  We thought one way would be to do a tutorial on how to make perfect pie crust.  Happy Holidays!

You will need 3 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoons salt, 10 tablespoons unsalted butter cold, 10 tablespoons vegetable shortening and 1/2 cup ice water.

This will make a 9 inch double pie and one single or three 9 inch  single pies.   

Add the flour, sugar and salt and mix.

Most receips will tell you to cut the butter up and add to flour and salt mixture.  I think a good idea is the grade the butter into the mixture.  It makes it easier to mix in.  

With your pastry tool work the shortening, butter and salt together.  Some people like to use their fingers and have good results with this.

 Start out by using a pastry tool and work the dough.  I always have to switch over and finish working it up with a fork.

 

Keep using your fork to work the dough until it looks like a fine cornmeal texture

 

 Add the water and mix the dough until it starts to hold its shape.  Be careful not to over work your dough this will make your pie dough tough.  

 

 Roll your dough up in three balls and cover with plastic wrap.  Let the dough set in the refergerator for at least 30 minutes

 Roll your dough out about 1/8 inch think.  I like to roll my dough out on parchment paper so that I don't have to use as much flour.  Place the dough in a pie plate and pinch your edges.

 

The apple pie will need slits made in the pie.  You can do something fancy or just a simple cut.

 

With the left over pie crest you can make a nice pie crest edge.  You will need a small leaf cookie cutter.  I choose an oak leaf cookie cutter.

Place the leafs around the edge of the pie. It is a good idea to take tin foil and cover the edge so it does not bake as quickly.

 

The finished products.  Could have taken the pumpkin pie out of the oven just a bit sooner!
