PASTRY CRUST MIX (COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG COOKBOOK)
This goes with the Colonial Game Pie recipe, but is also a great basic pastry crust recipe. Either lard or vegetable shortening may be used. I have not tried this with butter, but it works great with crisco shortening.

Steps:
- 1. Mix the dry ingredients together. Blend in the shortening with knives or a pastry blender until the mixture is of pebbly consistency. OR, place ingredients in food processor and PULSE until of coarse consistency. Store mix in a covered container in the refrigerator. When needed, measure out the following amounts:
- 2. 8-inch pie: One crust, 1 to 1 1/4 cups. Two crust, 2 to 2 1/4 cups 9-inch pie: One crust, 1 1/2 cups. Two crust, 2 1/2 cups 10-inch pie: One crust, 1 3/4 cups. Two crust, 2 3/4 cups 12 tart shells: 2 3/4 cups
- 3. Moisten the measured pastry mix with enough ice water to hold the dough together when pushed lightly with a fork. Roll out on a lightly flourerd board or pastry cloth.
- 4. Note: when a recipe calls for a prebaked shell or shells, line the pan(s) with dough, prick well with a fork, weight with beans or pie weights, and bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
SUSAN'S PERFECT PUMPKIN PIE
This pie isn't totally "homemade" because I use sweetened condensed milk in it - but it does turn out perfect every single time, and gets rave reviews. It's my standard for Thanksgiving dinners. I make up for the condensed milk by making real whipped cream for the topping. Our family doesn't really like Cool Whip because they are spoiled with the real stuff! I use only about 2 tablespoons of brown or raw sugar to sweeten the cream. That gives it a different flavor. You can use any type of crust, but if you want to do homemade, I suggest the Colonial Williamsburg pastry recipe which I will link for you. http://www.justapinch.com/recipe/frenchtutor/pastry-crust-mix-colonial-williamsburg-cookbook/other-dessert

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Prepare crust. I do not prebake my crust, and it turns out fine every time. Just line the deep dish pie plate with the crust, trim and flute edges, making them kind of high to hold all the filling.
- Beat the canned pumpkin, condensed milk, eggs, and spice at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared crust.
- Bake at 425° for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350° and continue baking for 40 to 45 more minutes, until set. Cool to serving temperature. Cut into serving pieces before topping with whipped cream.
- WHIPPED CREAM: Chill your bowl and beaters. I like using a stainless steel mixing bowl because it stays cold. Pour cream into bowl and whip on high speed until almost doubled in volume, but not stiff. Sprinkle on the sugar, and continue to whip until sugar is incorporated and it reaches the soft peaks stage. Serve large dollops on top of pie slices.
COLONIAL SEAFOOD PIE
If you don't like seafood this isn't for you. This is a rich dish laden with a variety of seafood and what a combination it is! I found this dish in the Colonial Williamsburg Cookbook and it will forever be one of our favorites.

COLONIAL GAME PIE (KING'S ARMS TAVERN)
Here's one for the Wild Thang group, for those of you who like cooking wild game. This came from the Colonial Williamsburg Cookbook, published 1975. A collection of recipes served in the taverns and inns of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Like all older cooking methods, this one takes some time. The photo is just to show you...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Salt the cavity of the duck and place it on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Bake for 30 minutes at 400, reduce the heat to 325, and bake until the duck tests done.
- 2. Simmer the rabbit in a small amount of water for 60 minutes or until tender.
- 3. Cut the venison into large cubes and saute in the vegetable oil in a large skillet until well browned, stirring and turning as necessary. Remove the venison and drain the oil from the skillet.
- 4. Add the port wine to the skillet and boil for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any brown particles. Return the venison to the skillet and add the Brown Sauce. Simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the venison is tender.
- 5. Cut the duck and rabbit meat in medium-sized pieces, and place in the skillet with the venison to keep warm. Season with the Worcestershire sauce, garlic, pepper, and currant jelly.
- 6. Saute the mushrooms in the butter until lightly browned. Fry the bacon until crisp, and drain. Heat the onions and drain.
- 7. Divide the game mixture into individual greased casserole dishes and garnish the top of each with mushrooms, bacon, and onions. Cover each dish with the pastry crust, trim the edges, and prick the tops to allow the steam to escape.
- 8. Beat the egg lightly with the milk to make an egg wash and brush the tops of the pastry with the mixture. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Serve piping hot.
THE BEST PASTRY CRUST
This is hands-down the best pastry crust you will ever make. Forget the shortening; this recipe calls for 14 tablespoons of butter for a light, flaky, buttery taste. This pastry crust is perfect for all your fruit and custard tarts and pies. I also use it for empanadas and pot pies.

Steps:
- Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles fine cornmeal. Pour in water slowly; knead dough into a firm ball.
- Pour in additional water as needed if dough is too dry or additional flour if too moist. Divide batter into equal halves. Roll out dough halves into rounds on a lightly floured work surface using a lightly floured rolling pin to desired thickness.
- Press one round into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the other round as a top crust or for a separate bottom crust. Bake according to desired filling instructions.
