Was talking about car seats, now about pie

Pie is awesome. Pumpkin pie, apple pie, blueberry pie, chocolate pie, lemon meringue pie, chess pie, buttermilk pie, pecan pie....give me all the pie!

stoneycakes · November 2014

Chess pie. What's that again? I heard about it on NPR last year around this time but we don't have it around here.

My mom makes an impossible pumpkin pie (impossible because it does the impossible and makes it's own pie crust according to the recipe). It's one of the few pumpkin pies my family will eat since we hate pie crust with pumpkin pie but love it with other pies.

That's because most pies are gross. Fruit does not belong in desserts.

Dude. Chocolate cream pie? Andplusalso, you drink cake batter. So...

I make my pie crust in the food processor and it's ridiculously easy. You put the flour and fat in the food pro and pulse it until it's somewhat combined. Then you drizzle in your ice cold water until it gathers together and starts spinning around the bowl as a ball. It helps to remember that it's the fat melting which makes the flakes, so you want to leave visible specks of butter/shortening/lard like the size of peas. Also, make sure you pick up your crust and rotate it on the counter frequently as you're rolling it out. Then it doesn't stick. It's really not hard at all.

I might have to try this because we finally bought a food processor. It's tiny though, will it still work for a single pie crust?

I regret not bringing a pie plate or two from home. The pie plates they have here are just not quite right for fruit pies.

How tiny? I have an 11 cup food pro and it makes a double crust comfortably, but I don't think it would do any more than that well. I have a tiny hand held one that holds maybe 2-3 cups and I don't think it would even do a single crust.

redrockmama · November 2014

Blast, it looks like it's a 3.5 cupper. Oh well I'll have to stick with my pastry cutter and fingers and remember to take my ring off this time.

AggieMom0809 · November 2014

I hate most pies. If they are made well, they can be great, but most people pull them out of the freezer/can/or store bought. Otherwise they burn them, handle the crust dough too much, or leave the center goopy. I much prefer cake. While they can easily be screwed up, even the mess up ones can taste good as long as they aren't dried out. In which case, add some ice cream.

Around here fresh fruit IS dessert. When we feel like baking fruit it's usually in the form of cobbler - peach or apple cobbler with ice cream trumps pie a la mode most days and I can't tell you why cause I don't know.

Into+the+Kitty · November 2014

Oh FFS.

I think after reading this thread I'm going to go make a chocolate cream pie and eat it all by myself again. Because my ass isn't huge enough as it is.

JEPES1348 · November 2014

To be fair, my post was really about coats and dressing for the weather. *someone* turned it into a post about effing car seats.

I love pie, as long as the crust is flaky, not dense and dry.

And thanks for the edit, Nana. Stupid work got in the way...

Noted. I'm just lazy. So I just get frozen pie crusts.
I'm just saying screw it and going crustless. My presence should be enough, but no. So they get crustless pie.

Pie without crust is like cake without frosting. Blasphemy!!

However, a muffin is a bald cupcake. It gets a pass.

If you can't find it within your heart to get in on the pie love, you are unAmerican.

TJ1979 · November 2014

Hey, think I could double @mapleme's famous pumpkin pie, and put it in a 9 inch pie plate with no crust? The single recipe was very thin in a 9 inch plate.

unaveragejane · November 2014

If doubling it makes too much, you can put the extra in a ramikin just for you.

redrockmama · November 2014

I thought the same thing TJ. Or you can use extra for french toast or pancakes or waffles, or muffins. So delicious! I have extra puree in my fridge I am thinking I will make something for breakfast, we don't have any bread though so probably pancakes.

My husbands unAmerican. He loves pie.

Especially pork pies.

Alas, no such pie exists in America, and even the ingredients are nigh on impossible to find.

I did not say that the converse was true.

We have opposite problems. I am surrounded by an abundance of pork pies.

I guess it's a southern thing it's kind of a yellow custard pie. It's yummy.

So I saw on Pinterest last night a recipe for a brownie pie. Like brownie batter in a pie shell (I didn't read the recipe). Is this a thing? Brownie pie? It sounds delicious, as long as it's good brownie.

bumpuser5078523 · November 2014

Pie crusts hate me, but I'm tempted to try the top crusts that you cookie cut and arrange on top. They are so cute! For the bottom crusts, I always make the dough and then smash it in the pie pan. $:\$ "> Otherwise it gets stuck on the counter and I get irrationally mad!

You just have to pick it up and rotate it a little bit every pass or two with the rolling pin. And dust the counter with flour as needed. My crusts used to stick to the counter every time, too, but it was because I never moved the dough. You can also cheat and roll it out between two pieces of Saran wrap.

That's a problem I wouldn't mind having.

I'm not really sure what the US equivalent of a pork pie is.

Looks similar, but there's no meat jelly in the tourtiere, and there is in a good pork pie?

There's a couple places in the USA that make them, but we don't live near one.

I find it weird that Canadians refer to us as Americans. We should be USians or USers or something.

If you really wanna piss someone off, go to any Spanish speaking country in South America and introduce yourself with 'soy americano.'
