PERFECT PIE CRUST (WITH EGG & VINEGAR) RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, with a pastry cutter, gradually work the Crisco into the flour for about 3 or 4 minutes until it resembles a coarse meal. In a small bowl, beat an egg with a fork and then pour it into the flour/shortening mixture. Add 5 tablespoons of cold water, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir together gently until all of the ingredients are incorporated. Separate the dough into thirds. Form 3 evenly sized balls of dough and place each dough into a large Zip Loc bag. Using a rolling pin, slightly flatten each ball of dough (about 1/- inch thick) to make rolling easier later. Seal the bags and place them in the freezer until you need them. (If you will be using it immediately it's still a good idea to put in the freezer for about 15 to 20 minutes to chill.) When you are ready to use the dough to make a crust, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for 15 minutes. On a floured surface roll the dough, starting at the center and working your way out. (Sprinkle some flour over top of the dough if it's a bit too moist.) If the dough is sticking to the counter top use a metal spatula and carefully scrape it up and flip it over and continue rolling until it's about 1/2 inch larger in diameter than your pie pan. With a spatula, lift the dough carefully from the surface of the counter into the pie pan. Gently press the dough against the corner of the pan. Go around the pie pan pinching and tucking the dough to make a clean edge.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Whisk together sugar, flour and nutmeg; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll one-third of pie dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; cut into 2x1-in. strips.

Repeat sugar and butter layers., Roll remaining two-thirds of pie dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling, pressing against sides of skillet or casserole. Cut a slit in top. Add vinegar to hot water; slowly pour vinegar mixture through slit. Liquid may bubble up through crust; this is normal.

Remove foil. Cool on a wire rack.

VINEGAR PIE

Steps:

• Serving Suggestion: Pint of fresh strawberries; or 1/2 pint raspberries or blackberries, for garnish
• In a medium bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the cream. Let rest for 1 minute, then whisk again. Whisk in the yolks, eggs, and vanilla.
• In a medium saucepan, bring the water, sugar, vinegar, and butter to a boil.
• While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle the hot liquid into the egg mixture. Return to the saucepan and, while whisking constantly and scraping the bottom of the pot, cook until tiny bubbles boil up, about 10 seconds. Strain the curd into a bowl and let cool to room temperature. Spread the cooled filling in the pie shell, then refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Decorate with berries, if you like.
• Pie Shell:
• 3 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pea-size bits
• 2 to 3 tablespoons ice water
• Nonstick vegetable spray, for coating pan
• Between 2 sheets of waxed paper, flatten the shortening out to 1/8-inch thickness. With a butter knife, score it into 1/2-inch squares. Freeze for 30 minutes, until stiff.
• Put the flour in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, pastry blender, or your fingertips, work in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. In the same manner, mix in the shortening squares. While sprinkling in the ice water, mix with your fingers just until the dough comes together in a ball. Pat it into a 3/4-inch-thick disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly coat a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick vegetable spray.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into an 11 1/2-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the dough, leaving about a 1-inch overhang, then fold the overhang under itself and decoratively crimp it against the rim of the plate. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Freeze for 20 minutes.
• Line the pie shell with aluminum foil and weight down with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil with the weights, lower the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for 8 minutes longer, or until lightly tanned. Set on a rack to cool.
• When lemons were out of season, or just too expensive, millions of bakers figured out how to make a tart "curd-style" pie filling with vinegar. Cheap and always available, it turned out to be just the right stuff for adding some pucker to a pie. Jerry Lewis (yes, that Jerry Lewis) often reminisced about the wonderful vinegar pie that his grandma used to bake.
• O.K., this pie may sound a little...er, different, but don't be deterred. It was a real favorite a hundred years ago and if there ever was a pie that was deserving of re-discovery, this scrumptious old-time favorite is it. Of course Grandma Lewis didn't know about fancy-pant balsamic vinegar but that won't stop us from going upscale. Try it and get ready for a new-fangled flavor surprise. On its own, vinegar pie is truly amazing. Topped with fresh berries, it's the eighth wonder of the world.

VINEGAR PIE

Steps:

• Make pie shell:
• Roll out half of pastry dough (reserve remainder for another use) on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round. Fit dough into tart pan and trim excess, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang inward and press against side of pan to form a rim that extends 1/4 inch above pan. Prick bottom of shell all over with a fork and chill 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake in middle of oven until edge is pale golden and sides are set, about 20 minutes. Remove weights and foil and bake shell until bottom is golden, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Make filling while shell bakes:
• Whisk together eggs and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl until blended well. Whisk together flour and remaining 3/4 cup sugar in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then whisk in water and vinegar. Bring to a boil, whisking until sugar is dissolved. Add to egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly.
• Pour filling into saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until filling coats back of spoon and registers 175°F on an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 15 minutes. (Do not boil.) Immediately pour filling into a 2-cup glass measure. If pie shell is not ready, cover surface of filling with a round of wax paper.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F, then pour hot filling into baked pie shell in middle of oven and cover rim of crust with a pie shield or foil (to prevent overbrowning). Bake pie until filling is set, 15 to 20 minutes, then cool completely in pan on a rack. Dust evenly with cinnamon.

GRAMMY BEC'S VINEGAR PIE

Steps:

• 1. This is the best base pie I have ever used. I have had it plain or with raspberries and lemon curd, German chocolate style (the one I made today), drained fruit cocktail baked in it, strawberries, peaches, mango... about any fruit you can think of and every nut you can think of! Just plain is awesome on its own. Just so versatile and oh so good.
• 2. Prepare pie crust making fresh or using refrigerated. If using frozen MAKE SURE IT IS THAWED. Also, make sure all the cracks are pressed together! LOL, I made a floater as my hubby called it the filling went under the crust and it floated all throughout the pie. It was still good but uggggggggggglllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!
• 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 4. In a medium mixing bowl, add 3 eggs and remove the roosters (the white stringy thing). BOTH my Grandmas always had me take out the roosters. They always said it makes shiny spots on the top of the pies. (I really think they just didn't like them, lol. But I always take them out.)
• 5. To the eggs, add 1 1/4 cup sugar and whisk until sugar has dissolved.
• 6. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and whisk well.
• 7. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar and again whisk well.
• 8. Add 2 tablespoons all-purpose and mix very well until all flour is combined and no little lumps are in the mix.
• 9. Add cooled melted butter (make sure it is cooled so you do not scramble your eggs).
• 10. Mix well until every thing is really creamy looking.
• 11. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake for a plain vinegar pie or add anything you think you would like to it! If making a plain vinegar pie, bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes until set. This pie sets well so it should not shake and shimmy. Cool pie for at least 1 hour or longer. Top with anything you like. :)
• 12. I made a German Chocolate Vinegar Pie today for my Hubby it is his fave! Make the recipe for ordinary vinegar pie and pour into unbaked pie shell. Then add 1/2 cup chocolate chips (use milk, semi-sweet or what you like).
