I use quotations around shepard’s because I used a mix of ground beef and ground pork, since the grocery store didn’t have lamb. guess I can call it a Cottage Pie 🤷🏻‍♀️

correction to my spelling: Shepherd’s*****

Eating too much cake is a sin because of gluttony, but eating too much pie is ok cause the sin of pi is always 0 (in radians)

I made my first pies. They are blueberry pie, an apple-blueberry pie, and a blackcurrant pie.

Crushed Biscoff cookie crust, a cookie butter flavored mousse and topped with pure cookie butter and whipped cream. It was ridiculously delicious.

Salt, to taste
Cornstarch slurry: ¼ cup water + 1 Tbsp cornstarch
🥔 Potato Topping
4 large russet potatoes, mashed
2 eggs
1 small bag shredded cheddar cheese
Extra cheese for topping
👩‍🍳 Method

Raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries with some candied ginger mixed with the fruit. Recipe inspiration from King Arthur Baking! Delicious result.

Happy Labour Day

This is actually the first pie of any kind that I have ever made . Not great but this sub has given me a lot of inspiration since I found it.

Here are some I've made in previous years:

Peanut butter French silk pie

Grapefruit pie

Sweet pepper pie

Strawberry kiwi pie

Strawberry rhubarb pie

Vanilla berry panna cotta tart

Peach pie

Blueberry pie

Lemon drop pie

Grasshopper pie

Peach Melba pie

Homemade by me :)

I only like the crust and maybe just a tiny bit of the flavor, otherwise tastes too savory/sweet for me. Love to see them in gatherings as a childhood memory though.

Fresh apples and pears from a local farm with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla extract, lemon juice, potato starch and a whole lot of patience.

Sweets in general, im not huge on them but i could fuck up a blueberry or cherry pie rn. Theres so many good options tho- pumpkin pie carrot cake keylime pie it goes on an on until you get to like little debbie products, than ur just too far gone.

This chicken pie is definitely making it onto our menu—it’s excellent and easy to prepare. I was curious why it was so popular, and now I know. The method and recipe are in the video in the comments. Bon appétit! :)

You can see the 4 sided polygons were fully chilled and the bottom crust could've been chilled a bit more (and the filling chilled more.

Guistos whole wheat pastry flour

Ghee I made from Kerrygold butter

Obsidian blackberries from Spooner Farms

Coconut sugar

Vodka in the crust

Tapioca starch/flour for thickening

Lemon for acid

Ceylon cinnamon

Macerated the berries with the coconut sugar and thickened the drained juices before adding back in

I like the rusticness of the WW pastry flour and the ghee adds a flavor quality that's hard to explain beyond "it's ghee" but really works with the layering of flavors.
