Amber is finishing up her
AHG cooking badge tonight. Her last cooking requirement was to make a pie, with a homemade crust. She made Great-Grandma
Joie's recipe and did it perfectly! Sadly, I neglected to get photos of her with dough mushed between her fingers and flour up her arms, but she went through the process twice to make a bottom and top crust. I demonstrated how to roll out the crust by doing the bottom, and she did the top.
She chose a 4-fruit pie recipe from one of our Gooseberry Patch cookbooks and decided against putting in the apple, and we didn't have rhubarb, so we added extra blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. The contents of the pie were all mixed together and then she plopped on the top as if she'd done it before. There were a few rips, as the rolling job wasn't completely circular, but it still worked! She was excited to get to the crimping phase.
Crimping all the way around, trying very hard not to put her thumbs into the top of the crust.
Oops, little bit of a hole. Ian caught her just as she said, "Drat!"
Adding the ventilation holes ... and her own decorative touch!
Now the pie is completely baked and sitting out cooling. Doesn't it look delicious? We shall have pie when the boys return from their scout meeting tonight :)
Ready to be served ... with a smile!
