Different Types Of Pie Food

SUGAR CREAM PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Heat the oven to 425 F.
• Roll the pie pastry out and fit into a 9-inch pie plate; crimp as desired . Line the pie shell with foil and add pie weights, dry beans, or rice. Bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove the weights and foil and return the crust to the oven. Bake for about 6 minutes longer, or until the pie is lightly browned around the edge. Remove the pie shell to a rack and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 F.
• Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk to blend and then whisk in the cream and milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it begins to boil.
• Add the butter and vanilla and continue to cook, stirring constantly until the filling is thickened.
• Pour the filling mixture into the pie shell and sprinkle with ground cinnamon or nutmeg. Bake at 325 F for 35 to 45 minutes or until firm and lightly browned.
• Remove the pie to a rack to cool completely.
• Chill the pie thoroughly before slicing. Enjoy!

DIFFERENT PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F Roll out the dough and fit in into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and flute the edges, then bake the pie shell fully. Cool completely before filling.
• To make the filling, whisk together the evaporated milk and gelatin in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Let stand for a few minutes to soften the gelatin. Add the cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt then whisk until blended. Add the eggs and sugar and whisk again until blended and smooth.
• Cook over moderate heat, whisking almost constantly, for 7 to 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly and you see wisps of steam rising, but do not let it boil.
• Remove from the heat and add the pumpkin, then whisk until completely smooth. Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight if you prefer. The filling will become firm as it cools.
• To make the topping, preheat the broiler and position a rack so that the surface of the pie will be about 4 inches from the heat. Combine the walnuts, brown sugar, salt and butter in a small bowl and stir briskly with a fork until evenly mixed. Spread over the surface of the cooled pie.
• Broil for about 2 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and bubbly. Watch the pie closely during this time, and rotate it once or twice as necessary so the topping browns evenly.
• Let cool before serving. The topping may be broiled several hours ahead; although it will lose a little of its crunch, it will still be very good.

BRIE PIE (TOURTE AU BRIE)

Steps:

• The day before, combine flour, butter and a little water to make the dough for the pie crust. Refrigerate overnight (To save time, I sometimes omit this step and use a store-bought crust).
• Divide the dough into 2 parts, bearing in mind that the bottom crust requires more dough than the top. Roll out the dough (again, I omit this step when using a store-bought crust). Butter a pie plate or line with parchment paper, then place bottom crust in pie plate.
• Remove the crusts from the cheeses, then slice the cheeses. Cover the bottom of the pie crust with the cheese slices, then sprinkle with nutmeg.
• Beat 1 egg together with the liquid cream and pour over the brie slices.
• Cover with the top pie crust, carefully sealing the edges and cutting a few small slits in the top crust.
• Beat remaining egg together with a dash of salt and brush over top crust to make it golden brown during baking.
• Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25 minutes. Serve warm with a green salad.
