CRANBERRY
PIE
|
| People who are fond of cranberries
are always pleased when cranberry pie is served. As these berries are somewhat
tart in flavor, you will need more sugar than generally used for pies.
Clean the cranberries before you cook them.

EASY
PASTRY
A departure from the usual kind
of pastry is easy pastry, directions for which are given in the accompanying
recipe. It is more moist and a little more difficult to handle than pastry
made in the usual way; consequently, it is more ideal for single-crust
pies than for double-crust ones. Besides being easy to make, pastry of
this kind will stand a great deal more handling without injury than any
other kind. It may be placed on the pan and patted out where it seems too
thick or patched where it pulls apart. The amounts given here will make
one double-crust pie or two single-crust pies of medium size.
EASY PASTRY
-
1/2 c. fat
-
1/4 c. boiling water
-
1 3/4 c. flour
-
1/4 tsp. baking powder
-
1/2 tsp. salt
Pastry Preparation:
-
Measure the fat into a mixing
bowl, pour the boiling water over it, and stir until all the fat is softened
and melted.
-
Sift together the flour, baking
powder, and salt, and stir into the water and fat.
-
Divide into two portions and
roll for crusts. If the crusts are to be baked before they are filled,
prick them well with a fork to prevent the formation of bubbles.

About
Baking Pies
|
| To produce the best results,
the pastry should be baked as quickly as possible; consequently, a hot
oven is necessary. The baking can be accomplished most successfully in
the case of a single crust baked without the filling or a pie containing
a mixture that does not require long cooking. Otherwise, the temperature
must be sufficiently low to cook the filling so that it will be palatable,

Pie
à la Mode
|
| A very attractive as
well as appetizing way in which to serve pie is known as pie à la
mode. This method of serving, which is often resorted to when something
extra is desired, consists in placing a spoonful or two of ice cream of
any flavor on each serving of apple or other fruit pie. Pie served in this
