Time 45m

Yield Makes 2 disks (enough for two 11-inch pies)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely ground cornmeal
3 tablespoons sugar
Coarse salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg yolk
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Steps:

  • Pulse flour, cornmeal, sugar, and 1 3/4 teaspoons salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with no large pieces remaining. Add yolk, and drizzle 1/4 cup water evenly over mixture. Pulse until mixture just begins to hold together when pressed between 2 fingers (it should not be wet or sticky). If dough is too dry, pulse in more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Turn out dough onto work surface, and knead once or twice to combine. Divide dough in half. Shape into disks. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
3/4 cup white cornmeal, such as Weisenbergers
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1 large egg yolk
3 to 6 tablespoons ice water
8 small new potatoes, medium dice (about 3 cups)
1 large yam, peeled and medium dice (about 3 cups)
2 parsnips, peeled and medium dice (about 1 cup)
2 stalks celery, chopped (about 2/3 cup)
12 medium shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 3/4 cups)
8 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups mushroom broth, warmed
1/2 cup frozen peas
6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and chopped
1/2 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and chopped
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

Steps:

  • For the crust: Combine the flour, cornmeal, and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse just until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons ice water. With the processor running, drizzle in the yolk mixture. The dough should just come together. If it looks dry add more water, up to 4 tablespoons.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until it comes together; it will be stiffer than a regular pie crust because of the cornmeal. Divide into four pieces, press into discs, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the filling: Toss the potatoes, yam, parsnips, celery and mushrooms with 4 tablespoons oil.
  • Season with salt and pepper and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast, tossing once halfway through, until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. You don't want to cook these all the way though since they will cook more in the pot pie. (They should be al dente, but starting to get some color.)
  • Combine the flour and remaining 4 tablespoons oil in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until smooth and bubbly like pancake batter, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the mushroom broth. Simmer until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season to taste and remove from the heat.
  • Add the roasted veggies to the mushroom broth along with the peas, thyme, rosemary and sherry vinegar. Divide the filling among four 8-ounce ramekins.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and roll each into a 5-inch disc. Wet the rim each ramekin and lay a crust over the top. Poke each 5 or 6 times with a fork and place in the oven. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

PEACH PIE THE OLD FASHIONED TWO CRUST WAY

Provided by BERNIERONE

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Fruit Pie Recipes     Peach Pie Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
1 egg, beaten
5 cups sliced peeled peaches
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts. Brush with some of the beaten egg to keep the dough from becoming soggy later.
  • Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix gently. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour over the peaches, and mix gently. Pour into the pie crust, and dot with butter. Cover with the other pie crust, and fold the edges under. Flute the edges to seal or press the edges with the tines of a fork dipped in egg. Brush the remaining egg over the top crust. Cut several slits in the top crust to vent steam.
  • Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is brown and the juice begins to bubble through the vents. If the edges brown to fast, cover them with strips of aluminum foil about halfway through baking. Cool before serving. This tastes better warm than hot.

BLUEBERRY CORNMEAL GALETTE

CANNED GERMAN PEACH PIE FILLING WITH OATMEAL CRUNCH CRUST



Canned German Peach Pie Filling With Oatmeal Crunch Crust image

I have revised this recipe. Cooks have told me it has been too juicy. When it is time to fill a pie shell,(if you desire) you can peel two apples and add sliced apples to this filling or raisins and nuts if you wish.Sprinkle 1/4 cups flour and 8 dots of butter before adding top crust. If you don't want a top crust,I have added recipe for oatmeal crunch crust.(Due to juicyness of some peaches i have revised this recipe and hope you now do not have any problems with it. Also slice your peaches at least 1/2 inch slices in width or a little more.
