Friday class!!

In this week's Friday class, we took a deep dive into pie making, creating delightful treats from scratch that are perfect for any occasion. The class began with the essentials of crafting a flaky pie crust, as we carefully cut fat into the flour—a crucial step for achieving that perfect texture. Once our crust was ready, we focused on the filling, which involved a mixture of sifted flour, spices, and brown sugar for a warm, comforting flavor. We explored the process of binding our filling with eggs and mixed in corn syrup and milk, allowing for a rich, velvety texture. Baking was another key highlight: pies were first cooked on a low rack at 425°F for 15 minutes and then shifted to the top rack at 350°F for 30 minutes to finish baking. The result? A perfectly golden and delicious pie! For a twist, we also made apple and cherry pies, which took about 40 minutes to bake, ensuring they were juicy and flavorful. Inspired by our pie-making success, we transformed leftover pie crust into yummy cinnamon sugar bites, baked until they were a delightful treat in just 15 minutes. This Friday class was a wonderful way to learn more about homemade recipes while having fun with friends and experimenting with flavors. Don’t miss out—join us for future culinary adventures!
