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. [Illustration: “PET” is the registered trademark of Pet Milk Company] 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. [Illustration: 2.] 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. [Illustration: 4.] 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. [Illustration: 5.] [Illustration: 5.] 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: [Illustration: a.] 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 TWO CRUST PIE PIE Sift together into bowl sifted all-purpose 1 cup 2 cups flour salt ½ teaspoon 1 teaspoon Work into flour with fork shortening ⅓ cup ⅔ cup or pastry blender ½ of When mixture has appearance of coarse meal, add the remaining shortening and cut until mixture is size of large peas. Stir in gradually, a water 2 ¼ cup tablespoon at a time tablespoons 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.
