1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 cup shortening or lard
1-2 Tablespoons very cold water

Mix together whey protein powder, oat flour, and almond flour. Cut in
shortening or lard into flour mixture using pastry blender, It will
resemble little peas when done. Add water, 1 Tablespoon at a time until
dough can hold together. Refrigerate till chilled for easier handling.

aluminum foil or pastry rim-guards
around edges to prevent it browning too much before pie filling is done.

Pour filling into crust and bake per directions.

Pie Recipes #118 - Lemon Cream Cheese Pie

Lemon Cream Cheese Pie
Submitted by a reader - thanks! :)

A great double-layered pie for summer with lemon topping covering a creamy cheesecake filling. Make the crust from scratch like the pros, or take the easy route with a pre-made graham cracker crust found in the baking aisle. Either way it's pie heaven.
Crust
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Cream Cheese Filling
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

Lemon Filling
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
dash salt
1 cup water
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Make the crust by combining the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar in a small bowl. Press the crust mixture into an 8-inch pie pan.
3. Prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla and an egg using an electric mixer. Mix well until smooth. Pour cream cheese filling into graham cracker crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until center is cooked. A knife stuck in the middle of the filling should come out mostly clean.
4. As the pie cools, make the lemon filling by combining 1/2 cup sugar with cornstarch, salt and water in a small saucepan. Set mixture over low heat and bring to a simmer, stirring often.
5. Whisk in egg yolks, then add lemon juice and butter. When mixture simmers again remove it immediately from the heat.
6. Pour the lemon filling over the cream cheese filling, and let the pie cool. When cool, chill pie in the refrigerator for several hours before serving. Slice into 6 pieces to serve restaurant-size portions.

Pie Recipes #113 - Recipe to Make 20 Pie Crusts at Once

20 Pie Crusts

Here's an excellent recipe for making pie crusts in BULK. :) Great for when making pies for bake sales OR when you want to freeze a bunch of pie crusts and have them ready to use all season long. Using the lemon-lime soda will help create a very flaky crust, similar to what a small addition of vinegar will do. :) Enjoy, pie lovers!

5 pounds flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 pounds of quality vegetable shortening
2 - 2 1/2 cups lemon-lime soft drink



Mix flour and salt; cut in shortening until it looks like small peas. Add

soft drink gradually; will be slightly sticky. Cover pie dough with plastic

wrap and let rest one hour. Form into 20 balls or 16 balls for large crusts

and wrap in plastic wrap and place in freezer bags and freeze. Thaw one

hour before needed.



Note: Do not add more salt because the soft drink has salt in it. I have

added the tip to cover with plastic wrap. I find that it usually takes two

12-ounce cans of soft drink for this, Letting it rest one hour is VERY

important.

It changes the texture. I also flatten the balls into round disk-shaped

pieces.

They thaw faster. (I pop them into the microwave on defrost for one minute

and that is usually enough to thaw and use quickly.) This is a wonderful and

very flaky, tender pie crust that you will love.

Pour cooking oil into a cast iron skillet, a little less tan
1/2-inch deep. This would be 1 1/2 cups oil in a 10-inch
skillet. Heat over medium high heat, when oil is hot,
place pies in a skillet and cook for approximately 2
minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on a
paper towel. Repeat until all pies are cooked or you may
wrap and freeze extra pies for another day. While hot,
sprinkle with sugar.

******For an even easier method use canned biscuits that have
been rolled out on a 5 or 6-inch round circle. Seal pies as
directed.

Serve pies with vanilla ice cream.

Pie Recipes #90 - Apple Pie in Cheddar Crust

Servings: 6

-------------------------------CHEDDAR CRUST
2 c Unbleached Flour; Sifted

1 1/4 c Cheddar; Md, Shredded

1/2 ts Salt

2/3 c Vegetable Shortening

1 x Water; Iced

----------------------------------FILLING

7 c Apples; *

1/2 c Sugar

2 tb Unbleached Flour

1/2 ts Cinnamon; Ground

2 tb Butter Or Regular Margarine

1 ea Egg Yolk; Lg, Beaten

1 tb Water


* Use tart cooking apples such as Macs or Granny Smith's. Core, pare and thinly slice the apples.
++++++++++++++++

CHEDDAR CRUST:

Combine the flour, cheese and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the shortening until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle the iced water (5 or 6 tbls will be needed) and using a fork, toss the crumbs until a dough is formed. Press the dough firmly into a ball.

FILLING:

Divide the pastry almost in half and roll out the larger half, on a lightly floured surface, to a 13-inch circle. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry, trimming the edges to 1/2-inch beyond the rim of the pie plate. (Note: When lining the pie plate, be careful not to stretch the pastry when spreading it out. This will cause holes or the pastry will shrink and the filling will run over in the oven as it is baked. Place in the pie plate and gently, working from the center, spread the pastry out until it covers the bottom of the pie plate and then lay the rest of the pastry over the rim and trim.) Combine the apples, sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl, mixing well. Arrange the apple mixture in the pastry lined pie plate. Roll out the remaining pastry to an 11-inch circle. Gently fold into quarters and cut steam slits in the folds. Unfold the crust and place on top of the filling, trimming the crust to 1-inch beyond the rim of the pie plate. Fold the top crust under the lower one and flute to form a ridge around the edge of the pie plate. Combine the egg yolk and water, then brush the mixture over the top crust and rim. Bake in a 400 degree F. oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until apples are tender and the crust is a golden brown. Cool on a wire rack until slightly warm and serve with Vanilla Ice Cream, if desired.

For the filling: 7 Butterfinger bars, 1 coarsely chopped for garnish

2 T. cornstarch
2 C. milk
2 egg yolks
1/2 C. creamy peanut butter
1/2 C. chocolate chips

Pie Recipes #73 - Banana Cream Pie with Toasted Coconut Topping

1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups milk
2 egg yolks or 1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas
1 baked pie shell, 9-inch

Mix sugar with flour and salt in top of a double boiler. Gradually stir in milk; continue cooking, stirring constantly, over boiling water until thickened. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

To the beaten egg add a small amount of the milk mixture while stirring vigorously; return egg mixture to the milk mixture in the double boiler and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 more minutes over hot water (not boiling). Remove from heat; add butter and vanilla then cool. Slice 2 bananas into the baked pie shell. Pour cooked mixture over bananas all at once. Chill for 1 hour or more. Put coconut in a shallow pan and toast by baking at 350 for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Coconut should be lightly browned. Cool coconut and set aside. Just before serving, spread pie with whipped cream and thinly slice remaining banana. Sprinkle toasted coconut evenly over the top of the pie and arrange banana slices around the pie's outer edge.
