Pineapple Cheese Pie and Lemon Custard Pie Delights
A column by Lynn Chambers shares pie making tips and three crowd pleasing recipes. Pineapple Cheese Pie blends crushed pineapple cottage cheese and lemon zest, while Lemon Custard Pie uses a crumb crust and citrus filling. Also included are Chocolate Meringue Pie steps with a glossy chocolate filling and airy meringue.
Quick Pastry Mix for Fast Pie Crusts
Keep pastry mix in your refrigerator for ready pie crusts. Blend 8 cups flour 1 tablespoon salt and 1 pound lard until crumbly. Use 4 cups mix for a two crust pie. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons water to moisten. Keep lard at room temperature for easy blending with flour. A few strokes with a pastry blender finish the job.
Pie Crust Technique for Fluted Edges and Scallops
Use a four step rolling pattern forward back right then left so crust stays under a half inch thick. Form attractive edges by pinching with a teaspoon tip to create scalloped edges. Trim pastry beyond pan by a quarter inch for a plain edge and pinch with knuckles and fingers to shape high even scallops.
