27 Nov 10 - 04:47 PM (#3041631) Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: frogprince Sorry Wesley, but pecan pie is my next-to-the-bottom choice, just above mincemeat pie, which I've never been able to understand at all. It's not that I consider mincemeat really bad food, it's just that every other kind of pie (I'm thinking in terms of dessert pies) is better. The best pie in the world is a proper banana cream; but I eat apple, cherry, and pumpkin more, so as to save banana cream for special sublime moments. What about buttermilk pie? I ordered a piece in Death Valley Junction, at the Amargosa Cafe, just to try something I had never heard of, but someone who walked in just ahead of us got the last piece they had. |

BUTTERMILK PIE (makes 2 pies) Make up two of your favorite recipe deep dish pie shells or buy a couple of premade....your choice. Sorry you can't have Karen's! Brown them a bit before adding the filling. FILLING: Ingredients: 5 Cups Granulated Sugar 6 Tablespoons Flour 10 Tablespoons Butter 6 Eggs 3 Cups Buttermilk 2 teaspoons Vanilla 2 teaspoons vinegar Combine the sugar and flour. Melt the butter in a separate bowl then mix in the eggs,buttermilk,vanilla,and vinegar. Mix well!!! Add in the sugar/flour and continue mixing.....good mixing is important. Pour the filling mixture into the pie shells and bake at 400 for 10 minutes, then turn down to 350 for an additional 40-50 minutes (clean toothpick check).

This one includes potatoes, and is known as Tortiere du Lac Saint Jean. 1 pound ground pork 2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated 1 onion, medium, chopped 2 cloves garlic (or use the paste that comes in a jar- stronger) 1/4 teaspoon cloves 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 2/3 teaspoon savory 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 cup water (more or less) (A recipe I saw at Gatehouse Gourmet adds shredded carrot and chopped celery and parsley). Many variations possible. I have had one made with ground chicken breast; very good. Put all ingredients in a thick skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring to keep pieces small. Add a small splash armagnac or cognac and mix in well in the last few minutes of cooking. Cool before filling pie shell(largish pie pan) Top with remaining pastry Brush with beaten egg (some thin with water) Bake at 400 F. until golden brown (350-400F for approx. 1 hour). (Traditional is a steam hole. Use finger to make a little funnel in the centre to let steam escape while baking). Best served hot, but leftover is good cold at breakfast. Pastry must be lard. No substitute. Serve with a good wine. |

All it lacked was a pair of feelers sticking out to go the full Cow Pie. A preposterous starter. But wonderful eating: full of fat English snails, rich and gutsy under thick, shiny pastry."

29 Nov 10 - 01:20 PM (#3042886) Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: MMario The best pie in the world is the one I get to eat. so it varies depending on what I am eating... Frozen Key Lime pie is excellent; a good pecan pie is hard to beat. Buttermilk pie is sinfully good and probably supports more doctors then any other pie. A good mincemeat pie is a treasure; And why call it mock cherry when cranberry pie is so good on it's own? Savoury pies are a whole 'nother class of stuff... And cheesecakes are seperate from pie As is boston cream pie - which is about as much a pie as Manhatten clam chowder is a chowder. Calling a skunk cabbage a rose doesn't make it smell any sweeter. |

29 Nov 10 - 03:22 PM (#3042999) Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: PoppaGator I can't believe that no one has yet mentioned SWEET POTATO PIE. Must be due to the overwhelmingly "caucasian" (i.e., pigmentally-challenged) population hereabouts. Sweet potato pie is very similar to pumpkin pie ~ same seasonings, etc. The texture is perhaps a bit heavier, the color slightly darker, and the flavor is just a little different. The main difference is that, traditionally, African-American people have used yams (sweet potatoes) rather than pumpkins to make their orange-colored custard pies. Soul food, in other words. ******************************** My maternal grandmother was an immigrant from Alsace-Lorraine, and was an incredible pastry chef whose apple pies were invariably pronounced the best-ever-tasted by just about everyone fortunate enough to have enjoyed a sample. Her Irish-immigrant husband was famously insistent upon being "American" and forgetting about "the other side" (the Old Country, or in their case, old countrIES), so he insisted that she make her fabulous Apple Streudel in a round pie pan, transforming it from a European delicacy into an "All-American" apple pie. Grandma's apple filling was very good of course, just sweet enough, but her pie crust was what really made it special. She always talked about how it would be even better if Grandpa would let her use lard, but she made do with Crisco (solid shortening). The trick, apparently, is to handle the dough as little as possible to keep it light rather than tough. Even her bottom crust was flaky! (Yes, that is possible.) My mother never learned her mother's knack for pastry, but fortunately, one of my (male) cousins studied with Grandma, successfully, and can now make the second-best apple pie in known human history. I can't say I have any single favorite kind of pie. I like apple, of course, but since no regular-type top crust can ever measure up to Grandma's, I usually opt for the crumb-topped or "Dutch" apple pie. I am also quite partial to mince pie, and can't understand why so many people I know claim to dislike it. To me, nothing else tastes so much like Christmas as that good old mincemeat filling. I bought and "baked" a frozen Mrs. Smith's mince pie over the weekend and was very pleased with it; the filling was tastier and freer of aftertaste than the "Nonesuch" brand canned mincemeat available for making a more "homemade" mince pie (i.e., canned filling in a homemade shell). |

30 Nov 10 - 01:57 AM (#3043330) Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: catspaw49 Like the best pumpkin, sweet potato pie is best made with fresh taters rather than the canned crap. I ran across a good recipe that works well for all the squash type fillings whether it be tater or punkin or acorn or butternut squash. The real secret I found was never to overmash the mix, leave it a bit lumpy......I was surprised at how the texture difference improved the pies. I rarely see any Custard Pie anymore and that which I do is lousy.

It's not me who made the soggy bottom by the way I sampled this once in a High Street cafe in the town. It is slimy stodgey when you try to put a spoon through it rather than crisp and it does spoil the whole thing, more like a slimy gloop in the mouth, yuck. Bakewell tart can be good it has a pastry base, layer of jam and sponge mixture on top with some almond essence added. But alternative flavours can be added to change it a bit and instead of raspberry jam a layer of cherry is nice with custard, cream or a scoop of ice-cream to top it. |

Thicken with Bisto gravy powder (not the granules, horrid stuff, the original powder) Allow to cool. Make the pastry with a mixture of plain and self-raising flour (about twice as much plain to SF) And use LARD (Gasp! Horror! Cholesterol!) and margarine, half fat to flour. Roll it quite thick. Make the pie up, saving most of the gravy, seal the lid with milk. Cook quite slowly for 40 minutes. Use the gravy for the meal, on top of the spuds and vegetables. It's nice cold too. |

16 Dec 11 - 12:00 AM (#3274579) Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: Janie I confess I do not understand the applause for assorted custard pies -unless they be pumpkin! Made with fresh organic pie pumpkins and honey to assuage the the conscience just a wee bit for actually using lard to create the perfect crust. The custard rich but not too sweet, and the custard creamy but not absent a subtle texture. Lemon, coconut or key lime custards, with their intense sweetness and ultrasmooth texture don't appeal to me. The crust makes the pie, regardless of the filling, in my book. Any pie made with fresh fruit, as long as crust is good, appeals. Having said that, I confess that I have never made a crust with lard - have experimented with oil, butter, coconut and all the healthy alternatives - and finally accepted that the next best thing to lard is Crisco - not nearly as healthy as the other alternatives but not nearly as lethal as lard. I've lost my touch from not cooking or baking much, but at one time was quite proud of the touch I had with pie crusts. Never, ever, however, equaled or surpassed my grandmother's lard crusts. |
16 Dec 11 - 01:24 AM (#3274611) Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: GUEST,mg I think many scientists would say lard is healthy, butter is healthy, coconut oil is healthy and the Crisco is what is deadly.
