Pesach Pie Crust Food

SWEET MATZO PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse matzo to a fine crumb (you should have 1 1/2 cups). Add salt, coconut oil, sugar, and water. Pulse to combine, then press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until light golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely before filling with your favorite kosher curd and meringue topping or chocolate ganache.

PECAN NUT CRUST

Steps:

• Stir together ground nuts, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix in melted butter.
• Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch, deep-dish style, pie pan. Chill the unbaked crust in the refrigerator for about 30 to 45 minutes.
• Place pie crust on a cookie sheet, and position on the middle rack of a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. WATCH it carefully, as nut crusts burn easily; they DON'T have to turn black to taste burnt! Cool completely before filling.

MY FAVORITE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Set out the solid margarine stick for a while on the kitchen counter to soften it.
• Mix flour, salt,and margarine with one hand in small bowl-1 1/2 quart size. You do not want the mixture to get too warm. Use your other hand to hold bowl or use 2 knives which is what I do.

• Chill for 30 minutes (or freeze and later defrost and continue with remaining directions).
• Remove bowl from refrigerator; add 1 tablespoon of icy cold water. Add more if you need to.
