His crust recipe is really different from another episode called crust never sleeps. He wasn't making meringue there though. Is that why? Does anyone who's seen that episode know?
@knightsintodreams Do you mean Douglas FIRS, as in the trees? Because I don't know what Douglas furs are. Are they fur coats made out of guys called Douglas? ;D
Thanks for the videos, but what is the system? I'm trying to watch the 2nd part of most of them and can't find them. The "up next" thing does not work.
Love Alton, love the show, but he's actually wrong on the construction of a cream pie. A proper cream pie is composed of a (should be standard) tender yet flaky crust, a custard filling, and whipped cream on top. What he is describing is, in fact, a meringue pie, so named for, again, its topping--the whipped egg white delight known as meringue. A "cream" pie without either topping is a custard pie.
If you don't have a food processor you can freeze the fat from the recipe and use a coarse grater to grate it into the flour. Just grate and toss lightly with your hands while adding the water until it comes together. It's the closest you'll get to the food processor technique and it always produces a tender flakey crust!
I remade the Grapefruit pie and this time made sure i have a good flavored Grapefruit and it turned out much better this time. It actually tastes like something.
I live in FL, and I was thinking of making making key lime meringue pie, b/c the key limes are cheap now. But my brother requested lemon meringue pie so I didn't. Key lime pie isn't made the same way at all. It has condensed milk - lemon meringue doesn't. They're entirely different.
The fillings may have a different technique, but they should both have meringue, and neither should be in a graham crust, but in a great flaky pastry crust.
My Grandmother used to make me lemon meringue pie for my birthday instead of cake! I have yet to find someone make a better pie than her. Lemon meringue will always be my fave!!
Lard actually isn't quite as bad for you as you think, in fact pound for pound it has less saturated fat than butter! That is, if you get good lard...
I LOVE YOUR SQUIRT BOTTLE *.*

Great idea! People give away grapefruit like they give away tomatoes in NJ. They are just getting ripe. Heck, it probably only takes 1 grapefruit.
TheSoSoAgnostic 2 years ago
It took me 2 grapefruits to get the juice needed to make the pie. You need only the zest from about 1/2 of one if the zest flavor is strong.

Thats a really good idea. I love izzie grapefruit soda, I wonder if I could make a pie that tasted like that?

I prefer a Graham cracker crust for lemon pie because I can make it faster and it tastes good letting me spend more time making the payload perfect.

Blame Crisco! Their whole product was based off of being a "healthy" alternative to lard. Turns out that it's actually less healthy, but it stuck.
