Delicious Dinner and Dessert Pie - Julie A. Anderson
General Rules
The finished product is only as good as the ingredients that are used. Therefore, butter is always the unsalted variety and not substituted with margarine or other, spices are fresh and fragrant, maple syrup refers to real maple syrup and vanilla to real vanilla extract. Flour is unbleached, enriched. Since you will be grating the rind to make zest, fresh fruits should be organic. Milk = whole milk.
Tip for making whip cream: In order for the heavy cream to whip properly, everything touching the cream MUST be very, very cold. To this end, put the cream, the mixing bowl, the beaters, and the sugar in the freezer for about 5 minutes prior to starting.
Tip for making meringue: In order for the egg whites to whip properly, the egg whites must be at room temperature.

Wheat-based Crust – for pies, tarts, and cobblers
For many otherwise good cooks, pie crusts have proven to be an especially tough challenge. As one author of a technical cook book states, Pie crust has at once the simplest ingredients and the most diverse results of any baked food known. It seems to require a light hand, a sure touch, and at least two prior generations of excellent cooks.
The ingredients for regular pie crust are: flour, shortening, salt, and water. Proportions can vary somewhat (within limits) in various recipes, but this is not what makes for a good (tender, flaky) or poor (dense) crust. The consistency of the dough is determined by how it is handled. It is essential that pie crust be handled lightly and as gently as possible. It is also important that the ingredients are cold. Cold solid shortening should be worked into the cold flour. The idea is not to produce a homogeneous mixture of the two, but just to coat the particles of fat with flour. The fat particles should be about the size of peas. It’s the layers of small fat particles that make the pie crust tender and flaky. Just enough cold water is used to hold the fat and flour together. If the mixing process is to heavy handed or goes on for too long making the fat particles too small, the fat melts and forms a solid mass which then produces a tough crust.
Regular pie crusts are usually made with all purpose, unbleached, enriched flour as pastry flour generally produces a crumbly crust. However, chiffon and cream pies sometimes use thin, precooked crusts made from pastry flour. Good cooks disagree about the type of shortening to use. Some swear by lard (rendered beef fat); others may prefer rendered chicken fat or butter or vegetable shortening. All are quite satisfactory.
There are also other types of crusts made from graham cracker crumbs or from sweet dough. These will be discussed in the recipe section.
Pie Crust #1
2 ¼ cups flour
1 tsp salt
¾ cup shortening
5 or 6 T ice water
All the ingredients should be cold . . . even the flour. Using two knives, cut half of the shortening into the flour until the mixture looks like course meal. Add the rest of the shortening. Using the fingers of both hands, reach into the bowl and scoop up the flour and shortening and rub your fingers against your thumbs letting the mixture fall back into the bowl. Continue until the mixture looks like small peas. Dissolve 1 tsp salt into 5 T ice water. Visually divide the flour mixture into 5 segments. Sprinkle the water – 1 T at a time – over one of these segments of flour and use a fork to moisten that whole segment. Then push that to the side while you moisten the other segments in the same way. Decide whether you need to use the 6th T of water. When all the flour has been moistened to your satisfaction, squeeze all of the sections together to make a ball in
