Sweet-Potato Pie with Spiced Crust

Pastry

2 C. all-purpose flour
2 T. sugar
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
pinch salt
3/4 C. vegetable shortening
4 to 5 T. fresh orange juice



Filling

1 C. milk
2 T. butter or margarine, melted
1 t. cinnamon

Whipped cream (optional)

Make pastry: Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add orange juice, tossing with a fork, just until pastry holds together. Shape into a ball; flatten into a thick disk. Wrap well in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.

Make filling: Whisk together eggs in a large bowl; whisk in sugar, then remaining ingredients.

Heat oven to 425° F. On lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a 2-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Flute edge.

Pour in filling. Bake 10 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 300° F. Bake 25 minutes. Cover edge loosely with foil. Bake 25 minutes more or until a knife inserted in center of filling comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack.

Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Answer 3

I love creamy ingredients so most of mine are creamy. The first is a puff pastry dessert. Cut frozen puff pastry and cook according to your package directions. Then let them cool and cut in half. In a food processor mix up room temperature marscapone cheese, 1 small container of ricotta cheese, a capful of vanilla, 1 heaping tbsp. of sugar. Spread this mixture in about 1/2" thick on both halves of your puff pastry. Lay some thinly sliced strawberries on one half and cover like a sandwich with the other. Then warm some nutella in the mic until drizzly and drizzle over the pastry. If you want to get real fancy sprinkle over some chopped hazlenuts. If you want something that is going to look really fancy in a dish you can deep fried wantons and layer this three times with similar effects. They are both really good.

Another really good simple dessert is to deep fry cheap refridgerator biscuts. Don't get the large flaky ones, they are too thick and buttery. It actually makes it too rich. Fry these until they are light and golden brown. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle with sugar. Then take a pastry bag (or ziplock bag) and fill with a tip (you can get these next to your instant cake aisle near the frosting) and vanilla pudding. Let some frozen strawberries in heavy syrup and put it in the blender and let this strain through a fine seive. Pour over the buscuits and top with fresh whipped cream. Oh my goodness it's delish. You can do this with any flavors. I have actually done it with peaches and vanilla, rasberries and chocolate, butterscotch and just whipped cream and nuts. It's a perfect mixture of sweet and salty.
