When we were in PA in August, one goal I had was for my Mom to teach me how to make pie crusts. Yes, believe it or not, I am 33 and don't didn't know how!!
So today I tried it for the first time all by myself. I had signed up to bake Wet Bottom Shoofly Pies for our Benefit Banquet tomorrow night and I decided this year I didn't want to buy crusts.
I think they turned out pretty well.
The first one I made just wanted to rip, so I added just a tad more water (I hadn't added all the water the recipe called for because it was starting to feel too sticky) That seemed to solve the problem.
And the finished products!! Next time I need to save more crumbs out, I think....they look a little scarce!
Now I need to make more soon so I don't forget..... :)
i know this may sound weird but i always think pie crusts are so pretty!!! :) way to go for making them yourself and when i saw the finished product i had missed what kind you said they were and i thought, "those look like shoofly pies.. or sugar pies as we called them too.." so i scrolled back up and sure enough!! i'm not a big pie person.. but those are my fav.
ReplyDeletea friend of mine in cincy made me one every year for my bday. and over a matter of a few days, i literally ate the whole thing myself!! haha.
