Crust Pie

This experiment will give a different task from other groups. The objectives of this experiment:- 

•  Evaluate two crust pies, with particular emphasis on evaluation of the crusts.
•  Identify techniques that are helpful in minimizing the soaking of pie crusts.

This are the basic formula for crust recipes.

Ingredients : -

2 crust pie

110g All purpose flour

2g Salt

60g Shortening

40ml Water

Method :-

The ingredients.

Stir salt and flour together.

 Add shortening.

Toss the flour mixture while slowly adding the water.

Then, put on pie plate.

Stir approximately 10 strokes with the fork.Trim ½ beyond the edge of the pie plate and flute the dough.Bake in a preheated oven at 218 C for 20 minutes.

This are the basic formula for custard pie filling recipes.

Custard Pie Filling

Ingredients :-

72g Egg

236ml Milk

25g Sugar

2ml Vanilla essences

Method:-

Beat egg gently with a rotary eggbeater.

Scald milk to 65'c.

Add milk, sugar, and vanilla and stir until blended.

Pour into an unbaked pie shell and bake at 175'C until mixture is set to the point where a knife inserted halfway between the center and the edge of the pie comes out clean.

After baked.

This are the task that given by Chef Zaid.

Variations in filling treatment – Prepare 1 crust using the basic formula. Be sure to puncture the crust well with a 4-tined fork before baking. Bake the pastry at 218c for about 12 minutes until golden brown. Prepare the basic custard filling, but bake the filling in a buttered pie plate without a crust. Carefully place the pan containing the custard filling in a larger pan containing 1/3’’ of every hot water. Place this assembly in a preheated oven at 163c and bake until a knife inserted halfway between the center and the edge comes out clean. Let the custard cool in its pan after carefully removing it from water bath. When the custard pan is slightly warmer than body temperature, carefully slide the custard into the unfilled baked pastry.

This is the second task.

Hot filling – Prepare 1 crust using the basic pastry formula, but do not bake it and do not puncture it with a fork. Prepare filling using the basic formula for a custard pie filling. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake as in basic formula for custard pie filling.
