Baking Workshop 7/31, Monday Morning

Piper smiles as the students arrive. "Good morning. You're going to be making apple pie today. I was kind of sick this weekend so I didn't get a chance to make one for you. There are muffins from J,GOB, though. Feel free to take some."

She hands them a list of instructions. "Once again, there are a lot of instructions here, so feel free to work with a partner if you'd like. One of you can make the crust while the other makes the filling. And then you both can work together to assemble the pie. Ask questions if you have any."


Equipment Needed

Mixing Bowl

Rolling Pin

Knife

Measuring Spoons

Measuring Cups

Dough Blender

Cutting Board

Pie Pan


Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

I teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

6 tablespoons butter

6 tablespoons shortening

6 to 8 tablespoons ice water


Instructions

Warm butter in microwave until soft, but not melted.

Mix flour, salt and sugar in bowl.

Add butter, shortening and ice water.

Wrap pie crust in plastic wrap then place in refrigerator for 20 minutes.



Ingredients

5 peeled apples

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vinegar

2 tablespoons butter


Instructions

Peel and slice apples.

Soak them in water with a tablespoon of lemon juice. This will help prevent them from turning brown.

Mix flour, cinnamon, salt and vinegar in large mixing bowl.

Mix apples into the pie flavoring.



Instructions

Assembling the Pie

Now that your pie crust has had time to cool divide it into two equal halves.

Roll one of the balls of pie crust out until it is around 1/8 of an inch thick.

Wrap the dough around the rolling pin and unroll it onto your pie pan.

Take a fork and poke holes in the bottom of the crust to let steam out as it cooks.

Place the apples in the pie in a pattern so that they all fit in the pie.

Pour the leftover coating over them.

Place about 4 chunks of butter on top of apple filling. This will give the filling and crust a more buttery flavor.

Roll out the remaining pie dough and place it on top.

Create a pattern around the edge of the pie by using the back of a knife.

Baking the Pie

Cut long strips of tinfoil and place them around the edge of the pie.

Bake pie at 400 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

Take tinfoil off about ten minutes before the pie is baked to have a golden brown edge.

Cally set out, starting on the crust first, as that seemed to make sense. She measured her ingredients and went about following the instructions as best she could.

"Want to work together?" Bel asked, approaching Cally as she made the crust. "I can do the creamy filling."

"Sure," Cally said with a smile. "I see the bite wore off," she added.

Bel made a face. "Yeah, don't remind me," he said. "And here I thought I would get through school gremlin-bite free." He picked up some apples and started to peel them.

Angela frowned at the recipe, but started carefully measuring things for the pie crust.

"Hey, Angela," Molly said. "Would you be interested in a partner at all?"

"Hi Molly," Angela said. "I'd love a partner. The recipe's not hard, but it's kind of long." She gestured to her bowl. "I had measured the stuff for the crust already."

"I can start on the apples then," Molly said and got a bowl of water and lemon juice ready before she started peeling and cutting.

"I don't think I've said welcome back yet. How was your vacation?"

"It was severely disturbing," Cally said. "But at least you can blame your behavior on the gremlin. Mine that day, not so much." Cally started mixing the ingredients for the crust.

"What did you do?" Bel asked, slicing the apples. This part he was good at, at least, due to his skills with a knife.
chasingangela: (hands in hair)

Angela patted the dough for the crust into shape as she talked, adding cold water a bit at a time. "Really good," she said. "Tahiti's gorgeous, and it was nice to see my family and Angel again. But by the end, I was kind of ready to be back here, you know? I think this is home now."

"You know how Walter was hitting on everything? I kinda, erm, let him get away with it," she said, still mixing. "Until I figured out he wasn't acting like himself, and I put a stop to it, but still. . ."
demonbelthazor: (Huh?)

Re: Bake

[personal profile] demonbelthazor 2006-07-31 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ouch," Bel said. "That can't make your whole situation with him and Nadia any easier."

Re: Bake

Molly grinned. "I know what you mean," she said as she watched Angela shape the dough. "I'm starting to feel the same way. Have you done this before?" she asked, indicating the dough.

"Nadia was really understanding," Cally said. "Haven't really gotten the chance to talk to Walter about it yet." She finished mixing the crust stuff and set down her bowl.

"Tiny bit?" Angela said, rolling the dugh into a ball. "My dad's a really good cook -- he runs a restaurant now -- so I've helped him basically my whole life. But he's not really a dessert person."

She glanced at the applies. "What about you?"
