Perfect Pumpkin Pie
Pie crusts can be a challenge. The secret is to use very cold butter and ice cold water. It also helps to chill the dough before you roll it out. The best clue that I have picked up over the years is to roll the dough between two pieces of plastic wrap. This makes moving the dough into the pie dish a snap.Recipe can be found in At Home in the Kitchen on page 312
Of course pumpkin pie is a tradition for the holidays, but it tastes just as good for a Sunday supper. Using the food processor to make this sweet dough for the crust cuts down on the workload. If you don't have pie weights for the first baking feel free to use dried beans or the kids marbles.
Start your own family traditions by hosting at home holiday suppers. Take a look at the recipe for Hazelnut Heart Cookies for your next Valentines Day supper.
