PEACH PIE THE OLD FASHIONED TWO CRUST WAY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts. Brush with some of the beaten egg to keep the dough from becoming soggy later.
• Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix gently. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour over the peaches, and mix gently. Pour into the pie crust, and dot with butter. Cover with the other pie crust, and fold the edges under. Flute the edges to seal or press the edges with the tines of a fork dipped in egg. Brush the remaining egg over the top crust. Cut several slits in the top crust to vent steam.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is brown and the juice begins to bubble through the vents. If the edges brown to fast, cover them with strips of aluminum foil about halfway through baking. Cool before serving. This tastes better warm than hot.

MAMA'S OLD FASHIONED PIE CRUST

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, and sugar until well combined. Using clean hands or pastry cutter, add butter and toss until just coated. Cut butter into flour mixture until butter is in butterbean sized pieces and comes together in 1 inch clumps when squeezed, about 2 minutes. Add shortening, toss until just coated in flour, then rub into flour mixture until mixture forms pea-size pieces (some big chunks should remain) and comes together in fist-sized clumps when squeezed, about 1 minute.
• 2. Drizzle in half ice water and rake through mixture with fingers until just moistened. Drizzle in remaining water 1 tablespoon at a time and comb through mixture with fingers to moisten. It will go from being grizzly sticky mess to coming together. Dough is moist enough when it is moistened through but is not wet when pressed.
• 3. Lord don't mash the dough to death or it will be tougher than an ex con. Gather into a ball. Turn dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, press it into a flat disk, then close in wrap. Place in coldest part of refrigerator (usually back bottom shelf) at least 30 minutes before rolling out and forming into a crust.
• 4. If it seems to be a bit warmer than it should when rolling, stop, put everything in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Then start again.

OLD-FASHIONED PIE CRUST (MAKES 3 CRUSTS)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix flour and salt. Add lard using a pastry cutter until well blended. Add water all at once and using a fork, gently stir until dough comes together in a big ball. You may need to add water a little at a time if the flour doesn't form into a ball. You don't want any wet spots in the dough though. Tip: To me it feels like play-dough when it is the perfect density.
• 2. Divide into 3 balls. Form into disks and let rest for about 10 minutes. Using rolling pin roll dough out into circles until large enough to cover pie pan. Put dough in pan and trim edges. Prick all over with a fork so that the crust doesn't bubble as it bakes. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes or until edge is light golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely before filling.
• 3. If using a filling that needs to be baked in the crust, follow the directions in that recipe once the dough has been placed into the pie pan. Do not prick the dough before adding filling if it will be going into the oven to bake with filling in it. Cover top of filling with one of the crusts if a double crust is needed.
• 4. I like this recipe because it makes enough crust to use in a 9 x 13 pan for a cobbler or chicken pot pie with a double crust.

OLD FASHIONED PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Cut butter roughly and put into the bowl of a food processor. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder & salt, mixing well. Add to the butter & process until the butter is well mixed with the dry ingredients. Stir together egg, vinegar, and 7 T of ice water. With food processor running, pour the liquid down the feeder chute and mix until it all begins to clump together. Add remaining T of water if needed. Remove pastry from processor and divide into four separate parts. Pat together gently and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Chill at least 2 hours (overnight is better). Will keep in the fridge for around a week, or frozen for longer storage.

PIE CRUST (OLD RECIPE)

Steps:

• 1. Mix dry ingredients, cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter -- or a fork -- till crumbly
• 2. In a separate cup beat the egg with a fork and add the vinegar and ice water. Blend well.
• 3. Add the wet to the dry ingredients, do not overwork, you are not making bread. Pie dough must be handled as little as possible so you do not activate the gluten which will make it tough. Just mix it enough that it holds together and resembles slightly crumbly pie dough. It will come together better after the cooling period.
• 4. Separate the ball of dough into 2 equal pieces, form them into flattened balls, and wrap in plastic wrap, and put in the fridge for 20-30 minutes (up to an hour). The cold rest will help to make the crust flaky. It will also make it easier to roll out.
• 5. Remove from fridge, roll out about 3-4 inches larger than pie plate on floured surface, fold in quarters and place the point in the middle of a glass pie plate. Then unfold and gently press and fit it to the pan. (Glass cooks more evenly.) Fill 2 pies, or fill 1 pie and cover with other crust.
• 6. If making open pie crusts, do not trim the edges completely off. Tuck about an inch of excess dough under evenly with the edge to build up the edge so you have enough crust to pinch them evenly without breaking. If making a top crust, then trimming the edges a half inch from the edge of the pan will allow enough to tuck and build up the edges for crimping (because there are two layers of dough).
• 7. Cut three or four 1" slits in the top crust for air and bubble vents.
• 8. If making a shell to bake now and fill later, then use a fork to put many holes in the crust to keep it from bubbling up.
• 9. FOR BAKED PIE SHELL: Bake 350 F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown
• 10. FOR FILLED PIE: Bake 400 F for 15 minutes Then bake 350 F for 30 minutes
• 11. My Mother NEVER put sugar in the crust. There is usually so much sugar in the filling that there is no need for it in the crust, too. Sugar in the crust would also make the edges burn faster, so just leave it out and save yourself the trouble. Mom never had to cover the edges of her beautiful pies, because there was no sugar in the crust to make them burn faster.
