Aidas Single Pie Crust Food

VEGETARIAN POT PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
• Melt butter over medium heat in a 3- to 4-quart Dutch oven or heavy bottomed saucepan. When it foams, add fennel, onions, and carrots, and cook until just soft and onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and potato, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and stir to coat. Cook, stirring rarely, until mushrooms have let off water and are shrunken, about 6 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over vegetables, stir to coat, and cook until raw flavor is gone, about 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully add broth and milk, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add peas, herbs, and vinegar, and stir to coat. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Turn filling into an 8 by 8-inch baking dish.
• Whisk egg together with 2 teaspoons water and a pinch of salt until evenly mixed. Set aside.
• With kitchen shears, cut dough to fit over the baking dish. Place dough over filling and tuck into the edges of the dish. Brush dough with egg wash and cut slits in the top to vent. Place on a baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and mixture is bubbling, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let sit at least 5 minutes before serving.

5-MINUTE MICROWAVE CHEESECAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small microwaveable ramekin. Tilt the ramekin to coat the sides.
• Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs, then add to the ramekin with the butter and mix well. With a spoon, press the crust evenly against the bottom of the dish.
• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, stirring until there are no lumps.
• Spread the filling on top of the graham cracker crust.
• Microwave for at least 4 minutes, 45 seconds at a time, at half power. Make sure the cheesecake does not bubble over the sides of the ramekin.
• Chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, until completely cool to the touch.
• With a knife, loosen the edges of the cheesecake, then invert onto a plate, or eat straight from the dish.
• Top with a few raspberries.
• Enjoy!

A SINGLE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Mix flour and salt with a fork.
• Add shortening to flour. Cut in with the back of a fork or a pastry blender, until the mixture looks like very coarse cornmeal.
• Add water, one tablespoon at a time, tossing and stirring with a fork. Using your hands, mash the mixture and form into a ball.
• To roll dough, dampen the counter or table with a sponge. Spread plastic wrap on the surface. Place dough in center and flatten slightly. Cover with plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin, shape into a circle. Shortening should look like the veins of marble throughout the crust.
• Keeping dough between the plastic wrap, fold in half, and then half again. Refrigerate for 30 minutes - or even a few days.
• To use, unfold crust and remove plastic wrap from the top side. Flip over a pie dish and fit it inside. Remove the remaining layer of plastic wrap.
• Double recipe for a 2-crust pie.
• NOTE: To pre-bake, as for a custard pie, prick dough liberally with a fork. Line dough with parchment paper and place dried beans on top of parchment. Bake in pre-heated oven at 375 degrees for about 12 minutes. Remove paper and beans; continue baking until crust has browned a little.
