Pie Crust

Pie Crust
I hate making pie crust and it never turns out good. This one was easy and came out almost perfect
Ingredients
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cut in small pieces
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons ice-cold water
 
Preparation
  1. Prepare crust for quiche. In a mixing bowl, mix together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form; add water, a little at a time, until dough holds together and forms a ball. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  2. On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll out dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate or quiche pan. Trim edges, leaving a little overhang, about 1/4-inch all around the edge. Prick dough with a fork. Line with foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. (How to Prepare a Prebaked Pie Crust) Bake quiche crust for 10 minutes at 375°.

Biscuits

Bob Evans' Biscuits Recipe
2 1/2 baking mix (Bisquick, Jiffy, or homemade)
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/3 cup buttermilk (use more if needed)

Mix all until blended. (at this point, I put it in a pan and bake it then slice to use) On floured board, knead dough about 10 times. Dough should be easy to roll out but not dry. Roll dough out to 1/2" thickness and cut biscuits 2 1/2" diameter. In preheated oven bake 8-12 minutes or until done at 450°

Menu Plan for the Week of May 5th
