Pie crusts are my nemesis! BOO! A few weeks ago, someone gave me a box of Gluten-Free Pantry Perfect Pie Crust mix. It stared at me, taunting me every time I opened the cupboard. Something had to be done! I strapped on my 6-shooter, jingled my spurs, and faced off with the enemy. (cue tumble weed)Using Spectrum Non-Hydrogenated Vegetable Shortening & Earth Balance Buttery Sticks , I was able to get some semblance of a crust. It was very delicate, but it was an okay first attempt. JOY!!!!!!!New problem.... I was stuck with two pie crusts cooling on the counter and hadn't thought of what to put in them.Enter Mommy's Kitchen , a blog by a Southern mom of 3 named Tina. Her pies are OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD, and her recipes are wonderfully accessible for an amateur pie maker like myself. I filled my first pie crust with her Old Fashioned Chocolate Pie with Meringue Topping . Instead of Half & Half I used Vance's Dari Free , and instead of butter I used Earth Balance. Other than that it was as written. Let me tell you what, it was the most delicious, chocolatey puddin'-tastic piece of heaven on a plate I have ever experienced! MAKE THIS PIE, YA'LL!What about the other crust? Tune in tomorrow! :) |
