I laughed and laughed! How cute. My mom made the best pie crusts and she used the Crisco recipe too. I had forgotten that. I need to try again. I'm not much of a pic crust maker...yet! Drop by my kitchen for a visit at www.tumbleweedcontessa.com. Love your tree!
Hi Melanie, I needed some clarification on the following... "In a small bowl, have the 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten, ready; stir a small amount of the hot mixture into beaten yolks; whisk CONSTANTLY while you are adding the hot mixture to to yolks, or you will end up with scrambled eggs. When thoroughly combined, stir yolks into hot mixture." Which 'hot mixture' is the first one? Which 'hot mixture' is the second one?" haha I know you have two sauce pans going, so I just want to be sure I do the steps correctly!
I think I would have been a little freaked out too if my tree was moving!! Hopefully whatever it was went on it's merry way.

ReplyDeleteMelanie, thank you, said creature seems to have vacated the premises.
ReplyDeleteLita, you are right, of all the pie crust recipes I've tried, Crisco is the best. I will visit your blog!
Thank you both for the comments and for visiting.

Hi Victoria, (Like the Queen) Love your name. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the time you combine the egg yolks, you only have one hot mixture, as you have combined the flour,sugar mixture with the scalded milk.
You the add just about a cup of that to the egg yolks, whisking constantly, and then dump that all back into the mixture in the saucepan.
Hope that clarifies for you!
