NO-FAIL PIE CRUST
I found this recipe in a woman's magazine back in the seventies and have used it ever since. It has never failed ME, at any rate. No matter how much this dough is handled it is always flaky and tender even if scraps need to be re-rolled. Be sure to use exact measures, levelling off with a knife. Dough can be left in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It remains soft and can be taken out and rolled at once, or it can be frozen until ready to use (thaw until soft enough to roll). For a filled pie, bake at temperature indicated in recipe you are using. For unfilled pie, bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit as directed below. Note that it is suggested you bake a filled pie versus a pie shell on different racks of the oven. The recipe makes five 9-inch pie shells or one shell plus two 2-crust pies. Preparation time includes minimum chilling time of 1/2 hour. Cooking time is for unfilled pie crust only.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt with a fork.
- Cut in the shortening with a fork until crumbly.
- In a small bowl, beat together the water, vinegar and egg; add to the flour mixture.
- Stir until all ingredients are moistened.
- Divide dough into 5 portions and, with hands, shape each into a flat round patty ready for rolling.
- Wrap each patty in plastic or waxed paper and chill at least 1/2 hour.
- When you are ready to use the pie crust, lightly flour both sides of the patty and roll out on a lightly floured board or pastry cloth.
- Keeping the pastry round, roll, from the center, to a 1/8-inch thickness into a circle 2 inches larger than the top of the pie pan.
- Fold in halves or quarters, transfer to the pie pan, unfold and fit in loosely.
- Press with fingers to remove air pockets.
- Fill the crust.
- Place the other crust on top; flute edges with a fork and place decorative slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake as directed in the pie recipe you are following.
- Bake pie on the LOWEST rack in oven to prevent bottom crust becoming soggy.
- FOR A PRE-BAKED UNFILLED PIE SHELL:.
- Prick the bottom and sides of a pastry lined pie pan with a fork.
- Bake on the CENTER rack in a preheated 450 degree Fahrenheit oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown (a metal pan will take longer than glass).
- Cool on a wire rack (the shell will shrink and edges pull away from pan).
- Fill as desired.
MOM'S CUSTARD PIE
Just a single bite of this traditional custard pie takes me back to the days when Mom would fix this pie for Dad, Grandfather and me. Mom also regularly prepared pies for large gatherings. This dessert was often requested. -Barbara Hyatt, Folsom, California

CUSTARD
Custard is a British institution! Sponge puddings and crumbles just wouldn't be the same without it! This will make a custard of a pouring consistency. IMPORTANT: In order to have a smooth (not lumpy) custard, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan, and stir constantly! If you have to walk away from the stove, remove saucepan from heat. Another delicious find from Great British Cooking.

- Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, beat egg yolks with a fork.
- Take a cup of the sauce, and slowly add to the eggs, beating briskly as you pour.
- Return the egg/sauce mixture to the saucepan, stirring into the hot sauce.
- Bring back to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat, and add the vanilla extract.
- Pour custard into a jug or pitcher, and serve.
- Tip: To prevent custard forming a skin as it cools, cover jug with plastic wrap.

Steps:
- For the pie crust: Pulse the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor fitted with the metal blade until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-size bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 4 to 5 times until the dough forms a ball. (If the dough is very dry add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.)
- Transfer the dough to a work surface. Form the dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
- Roll the dough on a lightly-floured surface into a 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan and trim the edges, leaving about an extra inch hanging over the edge. Tuck the overhanging dough underneath itself to form a thick edge that is even with the rim. Flute the edge as desired. Freeze the pie shell for 30 minutes.
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Put a piece of parchment paper or foil over the pie shell and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake on a baking sheet on the center rack until the dough is set, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and lift the sides of the parchment to remove the beans. Continue baking until the pie shell is lightly golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
- For the filling: Whisk together the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the milk and the cornstarch in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined. Stir together the remaining 3/4 cup milk, the half-and-half, sugar and kosher salt in a large saucepan. Heat over medium heat until barely simmering. Temper the egg yolks by slowly pouring the hot milk and cream into the egg yolks while continuing to whisk. Pour the custard back into the pan and place over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the custard is very thick and smooth, about 5 minutes; it will be the consistency of a pudding. (If the filling has scrambled a bit, or doesn't look smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate bowl before adding the coconut.) Stir in the butter until melted, then stir in the vanilla and shredded coconut. Spread the filling into the cooled pie crust. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pie and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
- For the meringue: Add the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and kosher salt to the bowl of a stand mixture fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk to combine. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture feels very hot to the touch. Transfer the bowl to the mixer and add the vanilla. Whisk on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the pie and gently mound the meringue on top of the filling. Use an offset spatula to completely cover the filling and meet the crust all around the edges. (This will completely seal in the filling and help prevent weeping.) Use the offset spatula to form swirls and peaks in the meringue. Toast the meringue using a kitchen torch or broil in the oven until golden brown, keeping an eye on the meringue if broiling. Sprinkle all over with toasted coconut and serve.

Steps:
- Place milk, cream and vanilla pod/seeds into a saucepan and bring to the boil.
- In a large bowl, whisk the yolks with the sugar and cornflour until smooth and pale.
- Pour the boiled cream/milk/vanilla mixture over the egg yolks, trickling at first, whisking all the time to temper the eggs.
- Return the mix to the saucepan (some people think you should rinse it first), then cook over a gentle heat, whisking or stirring with a wooden spoon until it thickens sufficiently to coat the back of a spoon. Do not boil your custard - it will split. If it looks suspiciously curdle-y, lift it off the heat and whisk firmly.
- Pass through a fine sieve and cool thoroughly in the fridge.

BLUEBERRY CUSTARD PIE
Haven't tried this recipe yet but I have a feeling that it will be good, hence why I've posted it. Its taken from Nova Scotia Cooking and the write up before the recipe states that the yoghurt lightens the custard and with the lemon juice it makes a filling that is less sweet than the norm.
