Mom visited and taught me how to make veggie pot pies, my favourite winter food. I was fairly successful (for a first try). A couple look like “Frankenpies”, but if they taste as good as the one we cooked already I won’t even notice how Arctically cold it is outside.
Start with magic slippers.Then mix flour and salt.Add shortening and ice water, and it eventually turns into a ball. When it does, refrigerate it.Precook miscellaneous veggies, such as: potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots.To melted butter, add onions, flour, and spices. Also, milk and broth.Stir forever.Stir until the instant coffee is finished.When it’s thickened into gravy, add green peas and all the precooked veggies. Set aside.Splatter flour on the table! Wheeeee!Be nice to that pie dough.Carefully roll a portion of dough until it’s big enough to fit a pie plate. I said carefully. Try again.Fold in half twice and lift the dough into the pie plate. This is delicate work. Next, spoon in the filling. Wet the outer edge with hot water before placing the top on top. (You can ‘seam’ broken pieces together like this as well, luckily).Press down all around the edge and slice off the excess.Etch a fork mark design around the edge to beautify.Place the pie into a freezer back and suck the air out with a straw! Freeze for later. Hurray!
Very fun visit !
You did an amazing job. Sure was yummy !’
It was very fun! And I have enough flour to keep practicing on a few dozen more :D
Maybe butter tarts???
Hm, maybe after I join the Y…
Mmm…..looks good. You’ll need to come to Montreal and show me how to make it.
