30DoC: For the Kitchen

I made pie.  Kind of.


Susie, Rob's mom, is a great cook so I try and learn a little bit about cooking when we visit.


Susie put me on pie crust decorating duty.  She gave me a cookie cutter and I went nuts.


Susie and I got into a fight and tried to hug each other. 


The pies came out reasonably well.  Look at my lovely crusts!  They were SUPER tasty.  

 

I had a fabulous time decorating and then eating these wondrous pies.  Do you decorate your crusts if you make pie?

Susie's recipe for pie crust:

1 1/3 cup flour
1 tablespoon of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 stick of butter
1/4 cup cold water

The butter and water need to be cold. Cut butter into salt/flour/sugar mixture.  Mix water in - works great with food processor.  You should end up with a ball of dough.  Refrigerate for one hour.  Roll out to desired thickness and lay over pie plate. 

Enjoy!!
