Promise Acre: Our Journey

[Bruce]

Of course once she does all your horses, she won't be able to move after eating all the pies!

I was looking for the vanilla ice cream and came back to an empty pie pan.

Still keeping busy. Had a good thanksgiving. Sold 3 pies for the holiday. Made 3 for us.

Helped DH split 4 face cords of wood, hopefully will have more time this weekend before his surgery. But should have enough split to get us to January if we dont. It's nice to see the log pile reduce. Bunnies are doing well. Hoping for 2 litters this weekend. 1 Polish, 1 Velveteen lop. Then 2 velveteen lops and 1 polish in a couple more weeks. Need to get some time with my pony. But he's doing well and doesn't complain.

That pie looks awesome. I have never mastered pie crust. What's your recipe?

I add 1/3 to 1/2 c of sugar.
And instead of lard I have used 1/2 c butter and 1 1/2c of shortening or lard. My preference is shortening I think. You can reduce it so you only make 2 crusts. Just do the water,vinegar, eggmix and add gradually until it just sticks together. I chill the "oils " but don't completely freeze the butter. Cut the butter up into small pieces and don't over mix it. And I chill after making it into doughball disc, each wrapped in wax paper. I roll out onto the paper also.
I brushed with an egg wash before baking.
