The recipes in this book demonstrate the basic principles of making all types of pies successfully. In addition, some of the recipes show how the use of Pet Evaporated Milk helps make better cream, custard, and chiffon pies—at lower cost.

Since Pet Milk is homogenized milk concentrated to double richness, it is an ideal ingredient for these pies. It takes the place of whipping cream in chiffon pies, is used as milk in the other types—and, in all cases, combines rich flavor, creamy texture, with increased milk nourishment.

In some recipes, too, double-rich Pet Milk takes the place of butter. In others, it replaces the eggs usually called for ... with perfect results.

No other form of milk can guarantee such delicious results when used as an ingredient in pies. Yet Pet Milk costs less generally than any other form of whole milk.

TO MAKE TENDER FLAKY PASTRY

❶ Measure all ingredients accurately.

a. Flour should be sifted before measuring; then spoon lightly into cup and level off with straight edge of knife. Be careful not to pack flour down by shaking or tapping cup.

b. To measure shortening accurately, pack into measuring cup and level off with straight edge of knife.

❷ Cut in half of shortening until mixture looks like coarse meal. This gives tenderness to the crust. Cut in remaining shortening until it is the size of large peas. This gives flakiness to the crust.

❸ Sprinkle water (a tablespoon at a time) over mixture. Mix lightly with fork until flour is moistened. Use only enough water to make all of flour mixture stick together when gently pressed with fork, and “clean the sides” as it moves around the bowl. Shape dough into a smooth ball.

❹ Sprinkle flour over board or pastry cloth, using only enough to prevent dough from sticking. Roll with quick, light strokes, working outward from the center to the edge, keeping crust as round as possible. Without turning dough, roll out pastry completely on one side to ⅛ inch thickness. If edges tear, overlap, then roll lightly over the mended spot to seal. Invert pie pan on dough and cut 1½ inches from rim around pan. This insures enough dough to fit into pan without stretching.

❺ Fold the dough in half and lift carefully into the pan. Smooth bottom with finger tips; lift edge and ease in sides. Stretching causes crust to shrink during baking. Trim so that dough extends about ½ inch beyond edge of pan. Fold extra dough under until even with pan rim. To flute, press dough between thumb and forefinger of one hand and forefinger of the other.

❻ If you use a pastry mix, follow directions on package. Break the mix up slightly if it has become packed in container. Follow tips (see next page) when rolling out and placing crust into pie pan.

TIPS ON BAKING PERFECT PASTRY

Choose pie pans of oven proof glass for a well-baked, browned undercrust. Shiny metal does not bake the undercrust as well because it reflects the heat. Aluminum pans with satiny finish also give good results.

For a baked pastry shell:

a. Pierce all over with fork to permit air to escape and prevent blisters.

b. Cool thoroughly before pouring in desired filling.

c. Bake on shelf slightly above center in 425 (hot) oven 12 minutes, or until brown.

For two crust pies:

a. Cut several slashes in top crust to let steam escape or top crust will puff up leaving a hollow space underneath.

b. Fold edge of upper pastry under lower edge before fluting to keep juices from boiling out.

Use a 450 (extremely hot) oven for the first 10 to 15 minutes to brown the crust and then turn temperature down to 325-350 (moderate) for remainder of cooking time.

PASTRY

| | ONE CRUST PIE | TWO CRUST PIE
Sift together into bowl | sifted all-purpose flour | 1 cup | 2 cups
| salt | ½ teaspoon | 1 teaspoon
Work into flour with fork or pastry blender ½ of | shortening | ⅓ cup | ⅔ cup
When mixture has appearance of coarse meal, add the remaining shortening and cut until mixture is size of large peas.
Stir in gradually, a tablespoon at a time | water | 2 tablespoons | ¼ cup

Roll on lightly floured board to about ⅛-inch thickness. Fit loosely into 9-inch pan. Fold extra pastry under and pinch with fingers to flute edge. Proceed as directed in desired pie recipe.

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

Mix together | 1¼ cups fine graham cracker crumbs[1]
| ⅓ cup melted butter or margarine
Press firmly with back of spoon in bottom and on sides of 9-inch pie pan. Chill until needed.

[1]Sixteen 2½-inch crackers will make 1¼ cups crumbs.

TIPS ON MAKING FLUFFY MERINGUE

1. Use large fresh eggs and let the egg whites warm to room temperature before beating them.

2. Spread meringue on pie filling to edges of crust. Then the meringue won’t pull away from the crust as it bakes.

3. Bake meringue at 400 on center rack of oven for 7 to 8 minutes.

4. Meringue should be cooled slowly. A draft causes meringues to shrivel and form little beads of syrup on top.

5. Meringue will not stick to knife, if knife is dipped into water before cutting pie.

MERINGUE (See tips above)

Turn on oven and set at 400 (hot).
| 8-INCH PIE | 9-INCH PIE
Beat until stiff but not dry | 2 egg whites | 3 egg whites
Beat in gradually | 4 tablespoons sugar | 6 tablespoons sugar

Spread on top of desired pie filling. Bake on center rack of oven for 7 to 8 minutes at 400 or until light brown. Cool thoroughly before serving.

Cover and cool thoroughly. Put into a cold 8-inch baked pastry shell using pie crust mix (follow directions on package, to make crust). Spread with Meringue (see above). Bake as directed. Cool thoroughly. Cut with wet knife.

Butterscotch Cream: Follow Chocolate Cream Pie recipe using butterscotch pudding instead of chocolate.

Coconut Cream: Follow Chocolate Cream Pie recipe using coconut cream pudding powder instead of chocolate.

Banana Cream: Follow Chocolate Cream Pie recipe using vanilla pudding instead of chocolate.

Put 1 cup sliced bananas into bottom of a cold 8-inch baked pastry shell. Cover with cooled pudding and spread with Meringue (see above).

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
